Charles Schwab announces launch of spot Bitcoin and Ethereum trading

Popular banking firm Charles Schwab has rolled out direct Bitcoin and Ethereum trading to its U.S. retail customers via a new platform called “Schwab Crypto.” This platform will give the firms over 39 million account holders access to spot crypto purchases in addition to stocks and bonds.　　The brokerage firm confirmed on Tuesday that an initial group of eligible investors can now trade the two largest cryptocurrencies by market cap on its new platform. The launch follows plans Charles Schwab first mentioned last year and then went on to detail in an April 16 press release.　　How Schwab Crypto operates　　The platform is not a total standalone from existing account profiles. Each client will maintain a fresh crypto account linked to their brokerage profiles.　　Each trade costs 75 basis points, which equals 0.75% of the dollar value of the transaction. The service became live in every US state except New York and Louisiana at launch.　　“We know our clients want to conduct more of their financial lives at Schwab,” Jonathan Craig, Head of Retail Investing, said in the company announcement. “With Schwab Crypto, clients who want direct access to the asset class can trade it alongside their other investments, while benefiting from the service, education,

Ethereum Introduces Clear Signing to Combat Blind Signing Risks

The Ethereum community has unveiled Clear Signing, a new security feature designed to eliminate blind signing—a practice that has long exposed users to significant risks. Announced as part of the Ethereum Foundations Trillion Dollar Security Initiative, Clear Signing makes transactions human-readable before approval, replacing cryptic hex data with transparent descriptions.　　Blind signing, where users approve transactions without fully understanding the details, has led to billions of dollars in losses. The Ethereum Foundation highlighted the $1.4 billion Bybit hack in 2025, where attackers exploited transaction signatures, as a key example of the issue. Calling blind signing a “structural flaw,” the foundation emphasized the urgency of implementing solutions like Clear Signing to protect users.　　The new feature uses the open-source ERC-7730 token standard and incorporates key elements such as human-readable transaction descriptions and a descriptor registry. It also includes an attestation framework, enabling auditors to verify the accuracy of these descriptors. Major wallet providers like Ledger, Trezor, and MetaMask are integrating the feature, which aims to provide an additional layer of security for self-custody users.　　Trezor CTO Tomáš Sušánka explained that attackers have exploited the lack of transparency in transaction details to deceive users into signing malicious contracts. “This issue has led users to unknowingly

JP Morgan Files for Second Tokenized Fund on Ethereum

JP Morgan Chase filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on May 12 for a second tokenized money market fund on Ethereum, proposing digital tokens linked to a portfolio of US Treasuries and overnight repurchase agreements that investors could hold in digital wallets or deploy as on-chain collateral.　　This filing notes that tokenized real-world assets (RWA) tracked by rwa.xyz are estimated to have reached approximately $32Bn in total market value, and that competitors, including BlackRock, are moving forward with comparable institutional offerings under the recently enacted GENIUS Act.　　(SOURCE RWA.xyz)　　This is not simply another product launch. It is JP Morgan signaling that the pilot phase of institutional tokenization is over – and that Ethereum‘s public infrastructure, not the bank’s own permissioned network, is where the next phase of on-chain finance scales.　　We suspect the choice of Ethereum mainnet over JP　　Morgans private Kinexys Digital Assets infrastructure for client-facing products reflects a deliberate acknowledgment that institutional liquidity does not accumulate on isolated bank-led networks.　　(SOURCE: TradingView)　　JP Morgan JLTXX Filing: How the Second Tokenized Treasury Fund Actually Functions　　The mechanism functions as follows: the new fund, structured under JP Morgan Trust IV as Token Class Shares and designated JLTXX, files for an effective date of May

Kevin Warsh becomes Fed chair in 54-45 vote as central bank independence faces new test

Kevin Warsh cleared the Senate on Wednesday and became the next Federal Reserve chair after a brutal 54-45 vote, handing Trump a new central bank chief while the inflation picture is getting uglier.　　Kevin is taking over Jerome Powell at the exact time when Trump wants low interest rates, despite the recent price readings offering little wiggle room for the Fed. Markets do not like these kind of situations because there is politics one way and high inflation on the other hand, along with a new Fed chief stepping into the middle of all this chaos.　　Kevins confirmation came after an election process that started way back in the summer of 2025, when the government began searching for a replacement for Jerome. The 56-year-old man is going to be the 11th Fed chair in the post-war era. However, his confirmation came almost entirely partisan because only Democrat John Fetterman of Pennsylvania supported his nomination.　　Powell will serve his term till Friday, but he does not intend to leave the Fed yet. In fact, he still has two more years of being a Fed governor, and he mentioned last month that he is determined to finish the probe regarding the Fed building renovations first.

Bitcoin, Ethereum and XRP Price Analysis: What’s Coming Next?

The post Bitcoin, Ethereum and XRP Price Analysis: Whats Coming Next？ appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News　　Bitcoin continues trading within a well-defined parallel channel, repeatedly testing the upper boundary around $82,000 to $86,000 and facing consistent rejection. The technical concern is a bear flag formation developing since the drop from the $126,000 all-time high.　　Analyst Gareth Soloway, who identified this resistance zone months ago, said the market has reached his target but has not broken through convincingly. The 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of the full decline sits directly at current resistance, which he described as the line in the sand. A sustained move above it opens a test of $86,000 to $87,000. Failure keeps the bear flag intact with downside risk toward prior lows.　　The probability of a downside resolution remains above 50% but has diminished as the flag pattern extends in duration, shifting from roughly 75% to below 70%. Soloway said he has already exited his Bitcoin and Solana positions at current levels.　　Ethereum: Cup and Handle Points to $2,700　　Ethereum continues lagging broader market moves but a potential cup and handle formation is developing on the chart, projecting a move toward $2,700 if the pattern remains intact. The defined failure point is the

Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs Shed $364 Million as Fidelity and BlackRock Lead Outflows

Monday was not a day of accumulation for the largest crypto spot ETFs in the United States. After weeks of mixed flows and uneven institutional demand, May 12 delivered a sharp combined net outflow of $364 million across Bitcoin and Ethereum products. The numbers strip away the narrative of steady institutional buying and raise questions about short-term conviction among traditional finance allocators.　　According to data from SoSoValue, the original report details that Bitcoin spot ETFs alone bled $233 million. Fidelitys FBTC absorbed the heaviest hit with $86.13 million in net redemptions. That single-fund outflow is notable because Fidelity has been one of the more resilient issuers since the January 2024 launch, consistently attracting flows even when rivals like Grayscale lost assets. A nearly nine-figure daily exit from FBTC suggests that even the stalwarts are not immune to profit-taking or rebalancing.　　Ethereum spot ETFs did not escape the sweep. They posted a combined net outflow of $131 million. BlackRock‘s ETHA accounted for $102 million of that total, a number that stands out given BlackRock’s usually steady accumulation in the Bitcoin ETF lane. ETHA has gathered substantial assets since its debut, but this outflow indicates that large holders are willing to trim exposure when

CZ says he prefers AI “shovels” over AI itself as infrastructure race intensifies

Binance founder Zhao Changpeng (CZ) said he prefers investing in the underlying infrastructure powering artificial intelligence rather than AI applications themselves, framing the current boom as an “infrastructure-first” investment cycle.Binance founder Zhao Changpeng says he favors investing in AI infrastructure such as data centers and energy systems over AI applications.He highlights NVIDIAs dominance in AI chips but expects more customized compute solutions to emerge over time.His investment firm still allocates 70%–80% of capital to Web3, keeping crypto as the core focus.　　Speaking during a Binance online livestream, CZ described his preferred strategy as focusing on the “shovels” of AI — including data centers, power supply systems and large-scale computing infrastructure required to support model training and inference workloads.　　His comments reflect a growing investor narrative that the AI economy is not just about algorithms or software, but about energy, hardware and compute availability at industrial scale.　　AI infrastructure becomes the dominant investment layer　　CZ noted that while NVIDIA currently dominates the AI chip market, the long-term landscape may shift toward more specialized and customized compute solutions tailored to different AI workloads.　　This view aligns with a broader industry trend in which hyperscale data centers, energy infrastructure and semiconductor supply chains are becoming the primary bottlenecks

Telecom giant KDDI to acquire 14.9% stake in Coincheck Group in $65 million deal

KDDI, one of Japans largest telecom companies, is set to hold a 14.9% stake in local crypto exchange operator Coincheck Group (CNCK) after agreeing to a $65 million deal.　　The telecom giant will subscribe for 28.5 million newly issued Coincheck Group shares at $2.28 each, Coincheck said on Wednesday. The deal is expected to close in June.　　Coincheck and KDDI also signed what both firms called a business alliance covering customer referrals, revenue sharing and referral fees. The companies said the partnership is aimed at expanding crypto access in Japan through KDDI‘s consumer channels and Coincheck’s trading, custody, staking and asset-management services.　　KDDI has been building around crypto and Web3 since at least 2023, when it launched αU, a metaverse and Web3 service with a non-fungible token (NFT) marketplace and crypto wallet.　　The company deepened that push through a capital and business alliance with HashPort, a Japanese Web3 wallet developer. The deal was tied to plans allowing users to convert Ponta loyalty points into stablecoins and crypto, and convert those assets into au PAY gift cards.　　KDDI will receive registration rights for the shares and the right to nominate one non-executive director to Coincheck Groups board at its next annual general meeting, expected in September.　　Coinchecks
