According to Odaily, Charles Schwab's President, Rick Wurster, expressed the company's interest in entering the spot cryptocurrency trading market once U.S. regulations permit. In an interview with Bloomberg Radio on Thursday, Wurster highlighted the potential for regulatory changes, particularly following Donald Trump's presidency, which could pave the way for such developments.
Wurster stated, "When the regulatory environment changes, we will enter the spot cryptocurrency space. We do anticipate these changes and are preparing for this possibility." He acknowledged the significant attention cryptocurrencies have garnered, noting that many individuals have profited from them. Despite not having personally invested in cryptocurrencies, Wurster admitted feeling somewhat foolish for not doing so. However, he emphasized his support for Charles Schwab clients interested in investing in the cryptocurrency sector, even though he currently has no plans to invest himself.
