The CEO of Charles Schwab has just confirmed plans to launch Bitcoin spot trading services in mid-April 2026, citing a 400% surge in traffic to the company's cryptocurrency education portal.
This timeline is later than I expected, but it also reflects the cautious attitude of traditional financial institutions entering the crypto space.
Meanwhile, 21Shares' latest analysis report states that, combining historical trends and current market signals, Bitcoin is expected to reach $138,555 by the end of 2025.
The report indicates that Bitcoin is gaining strength from macroeconomic uncertainty and on-chain momentum, with the current market cycle resembling that of 2021.
From on-chain data, wallets holding between 10 to 10,000 BTC have increased their holdings by over 53,600 BTC since March 22, and this large-scale accumulation behavior supports this assessment.
