Charles Schwab Targets Mid-2027 Rollout for Advisor Crypto Spot Trading and Custody
Charles Schwab is expanding its digital asset footprint into institutional wealth management, aiming to let independent advisors manage direct crypto holdings.
Custody
Custody refers to how cryptocurrencies and digital assets are stored and protected. It can be handled by third-party custodians, such as exchanges, or managed directly by users through self-custody wallets. Custodial services simplify access but require trust in the provider, while self-custody offers greater control and responsibility. Custody plays a critical role in security, regulation, and institutional adoption of crypto. The choice between custodial and non-custodial solutions often depends on user experience and risk tolerance.
