Charles Schwab CEO Rick Wurster has expressed optimism about Bitcoin's performance in 2026, citing a favorable macroeconomic environment. In a recent interview, Wurster highlighted factors such as quantitative easing, the Federal Reserve's bond-buying program, and weak demand for US government bonds as supportive of Bitcoin's growth. Despite recent market challenges, Charles Schwab is expanding its cryptocurrency offerings. The firm currently supports Solana and Micro Solana futures and plans to introduce spot cryptocurrency trading services in the first half of 2026.
