PANews reported on January 1st that Charles Schwab CEO Rick Wurster stated in an interview that the company is optimistic about Bitcoin's performance in 2026. Despite the recent market downturn, the macroeconomic environment will become increasingly favorable for Bitcoin due to factors such as quantitative easing, the Federal Reserve's bond-buying program, and weak demand for US government bonds. It is understood that Charles Schwab currently supports the purchase of Solana and Micro Solana futures products and plans to launch spot cryptocurrency trading services in the first half of 2026.
