The post Charles Schwab Enters Crypto War, Launching Spot Bitcoin & Ethereum Trading appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News Charles Schwab, one of America’s largest brokerage firms with $10.7 trillion in client assets, is moving closer to offering direct (spot) trading in Bitcoin and Ethereum. Meanwhile, CEO Rick Wurster just confirmed Schwab will soon launch spot trading for Bitcoin and Ethereum, hoping to help clients keep all their money, stocks, bonds, and crypto in one trusted place. Schwab Launches Bitcoin & Ethereum Trading In a recent CNBC interview, Wurster noted that Schwab’s clients already hold significant exposure to crypto through exchange-traded products (ETPs), owning more than 20% of the entire ETP market. However, crypto still makes up a small slice of Schwab’s total assets, roughly $25 billion out of $10.8 trillion. Schwab thinks giving them simple spot BTC and ETH trading “sometime soon” will unlock new growth. JUST IN: $10 trillion Charles Schwab CEO says they will launch Bitcoin trading "sometime soon" and will be competing with Coinbase pic.twitter.com/VnpHfcFed0 — Bitcoin Magazine (@BitcoinMagazine) July 18, 2025 The timing is perfect as rules for crypto are becoming clearer. The U.S. House recently passed the GENIUS Act , setting new rules for stablecoins. Along with relaxed restrictions from banking regulators, this has made it easier for companies like Schwab to move into crypto. Competing With Coinbase Schwab’s entry into spot crypto trading is aimed at challenging existing players like Coinbase. After listing Bitcoin and Ether ETFs and allowing related funds and options, adding direct coins is the next step. Wurster stated that many Schwab clients currently store 98% of their wealth with the brokerage but keep a small portion of crypto with other exchanges. They would rather view everything, stocks, ETFs, options, and now coins, in one secure dashboard. Institutions Add More Crypto The push toward crypto isn’t limited to Schwab. A March survey by Coinbase and EY-Parthenon found that 83% of institutional investors plan to increase crypto allocations in 2025, with altcoins like XRP and Solana emerging as favorites. Another study found 90% are using or testing stablecoins. Schwab wants to be ready when these allocations shift from “experimental” to “standard.” Profits Rise as Schwab Grows Even though global crypto spot trading dipped last quarter, Schwab’s quarterly profit jumped 60%, EPS hit $1.14, client assets rose 14% to $10.76T, and trading revenue climbed 23% to $952M, partly boosted by heavy activity around new U.S. tariff news For Schwab, crypto isn’t just an add-on anymore, it’s becoming part of its main business plan for the future.
A billion-dollar streaming service has agreed to shell out $3.4 million to settle a class action lawsuit alleging the company violated US privacy laws. According to a newly updated settlement portal , the sports streaming firm FuboTV will send cash payments to people who had an account on or before May 29th of this year while residing in the US or its territories. The class action lawsuit leading to the settlement was initially filed in August of 2023. It alleged FuboTV “collected, stored, used, distributed, or retained Personally Identifiable Information and/or other personal information or data, including through targeted advertising and the use of Trap and Trace Devices, the Meta Pixel, Google Analytics, Cookies, and related technology.” According to the class action lawsuit, FuboTV’s actions were in violation of the Video Privacy Protection Act – a law originally created to prevent the wrongful disclosure of videotape rental or sale records, but now also applies to streaming and digital video platforms as well. According to the settlement portal, the amount that each class member will receive is currently unknown but will depend on the number of valid claims that will be submitted. Claims must be submitted by September 12th, while the final approval hearing will be held on October 6th. Individuals who wish to exclude themselves from the settlement must submit a ‘Request for Exclusion’ by email or in writing by August 28th.

The post Ethereum Hits 6-Month High: ETF Surge, Stablecoin Law Set the Stage appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News The crypto market cap currently stands at $3.93 trillion, with Bitcoin holding steady above $118,000. Ethereum is trading at $3,557 and XRP at $3.43, both showing minimal movement in the day. In a major move, President Trump signed the GENIUS Act into law on July 18, creating the first clear U.S. framework for stablecoin regulation. This is expected to unlock a wave of institutional capital and accelerate crypto adoption. Ethereum Hits 6-Month High with 50% Rally Ethereum is making headlines and has jumped to a six-month high of $3,677 on July 18, marking a 50% rally since it dipped near $2,400 earlier this month. One big reason for its recent surge is the passage of the GENIUS Act, which finally brings some clear rules for stablecoins and is crucial for Ethereum’s ecosystem. Rising institutional interest and record inflows into spot ETH ETFs and staking activity are also fueling the price run. ETH ETFs Overtake Bitcoin in Daily Inflows For the first time ever, Ethereum ETFs outpaced Bitcoin ETFs in daily inflows. On Thursday, US spot Ether ETFs pulled in $602 million, beating the $522.6 million that went into Bitcoin funds. The surge follows a record-setting $726 million inflow into ETH ETFs the day before. BlackRock’s ETHA led the charge, pulling in $550 million and outperforming its own Bitcoin product. James Seyffart noted the rise in demand for Ethereum ETFs and shared that they’ve pulled in over $5.5 billion since launch, with $3.3 billion of that coming in just since mid-April. Ethereum ETF Flows are booming. As a group the US spot Ether ETFs have taken in over $5.5 billion since launch. Which includes over $3.3 billion since mid April. pic.twitter.com/VFk5CM2rGP — James Seyffart (@JSeyff) July 17, 2025 .article-inside-link { margin-left: 0 !important; border: 1px solid #0052CC4D; border-left: 0; border-right: 0; padding: 10px 0; text-align: left; } .entry ul.article-inside-link li { font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; font-weight: 600; list-style-type: none; margin-bottom: 0; display: inline-block; } .entry ul.article-inside-link li:last-child { display: none; } Also Read : Charles Schwab Enters Crypto War, Launching Spot Bitcoin & Ethereum Trading , Analysts See Long-Term Upside for Ethereum Analyst Michaël van de Poppe highlights a strong shift in market sentiment that began back in April. He notes that the CNH/USD and ETH/BTC pairs bottomed, while gold peaked, signaling a move from a risk-off to risk-on environment. Since then, ETH has outperformed BTC by 70%, with more upside likely over the next 12–24 months.

Ethereum Treasuries Surge More companies are adopting Ethereum as a treasury asset, mirroring MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin strategy. BitMine has acquired 300,000+ ETH, aiming to stake 5% of the total supply. SharpLink Gaming and Bit Digital are also building large ETH reserves, raising billions to expand holdings. With both hype and real progress behind it, many analysts believe ETH’s rally may have much more room to run. .article_register_shortcode { padding: 18px 24px; border-radius: 8px; display: flex; align-items: center; margin: 6px 0 22px; border: 1px solid #0052CC4D; background: linear-gradient(90deg, rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.1) 0%, rgba(0, 82, 204, 0.1) 100%); } .article_register_shortcode .media-body h5 { color: #000000; font-weight: 600; font-size: 20px; line-height: 22px; text-align:left; } .article_register_shortcode .media-body h5 span { color: #0052CC; } .article_register_shortcode .media-body p { font-weight: 400; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; color: #171717B2; margin-top: 4px; text-align:left; } .article_register_shortcode .media-body{ padding-right: 14px; } .article_register_shortcode .media-button a { float: right; } .article_register_shortcode .primary-button img{ vertical-align: middle; width: 20px; margin: 0; display: inline-block; } @media (min-width: 581px) and (max-width: 991px) { .article_register_shortcode .media-body p { margin-bottom: 0; } } @media (max-width: 580px) { .article_register_shortcode { display: block; padding: 20px; } .article_register_shortcode img { max-width: 50px; } .article_register_shortcode .media-body h5 { font-size: 16px; } .article_register_shortcode .media-body { margin-left: 0px; } .article_register_shortcode .media-body p { font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-top: 6px; margin-bottom: 14px; } .article_register_shortcode .media-button a { float: unset; } .article_register_shortcode .secondary-button { margin-bottom: 0; } } Never Miss a Beat in the Crypto World!

Bitcoin is currently holding above the $115,000 level after setting a new all-time high of approximately $123,000 last Monday. The price structure remains firmly bullish, with buyers still in control, but growing signs suggest the potential for a short-term correction. Momentum has slowed, and the market is entering a consolidation phase as traders reassess risk. Related Reading: Coinbase Premium Signals Aggressive Ethereum Accumulation: Institutional Demand Accelerates According to new data from CryptoQuant, Bitcoin miner selling has surged sharply. On July 15, the same day Bitcoin reached its latest peak, daily BTC inflows to exchanges jumped from 19,000 BTC to 81,000 BTC — a clear sign that major holders, including miners and whales, took advantage of high prices to offload assets. Notably, miner outflows spiked to 16,000 BTC, the highest daily level since April, and nearly all of it was sent directly to exchanges. These inflows suggest a shift in sentiment among large players, raising the probability of increased supply pressure in the short term. While the broader trend remains intact, and fundamentals like long-term holder activity are still strong, the spike in exchange deposits is a classic signal to watch. Whether this leads to a deeper pullback or simply a healthy reset will likely be decided in the coming days. Miners Take Profits As Bitcoin Hits All-Time High Fresh data from CryptoQuant reveals that Bitcoin miners have resumed aggressive selling behavior as BTC reached a new all-time high of ~$123,000. On July 15, miner outflows spiked to 16,000 BTC — the highest single-day total since April 7. This level of activity represents what analysts at CryptoQuant describe as an “extreme outflow,” indicating that miners seized the opportunity to take profits at elevated prices. The miners sent nearly all the BTC they withdrew from their wallets directly to centralized exchanges. This reinforces the interpretation that the move was not simply a strategic reallocation but an active decision to sell into market strength. Such behavior often signals growing caution among miners, who may expect either near-term price exhaustion or are simply capitalizing on favorable conditions after months of holding. Miner behavior has long been viewed as a leading indicator of potential market shifts. When outflows rise — particularly to exchanges — it tends to precede increased volatility or temporary tops. While the broader Bitcoin trend remains bullish and investor demand stays strong, this wave of miner selling injects a dose of uncertainty.

BTC Consolidates Below ATH After Explosive Rally The daily chart of Bitcoin (BTC/USD) shows price consolidating in a tight range between $115,730 and $123,230 after reaching a new all-time high. This zone is now acting as a short-term channel, with buyers defending the $115K area while facing resistance around $123K. The latest daily candle shows low volatility, suggesting indecision among traders as Bitcoin pauses after its recent breakout. Volume has tapered off following a massive spike that coincided with the all-time high breakout, a potential signal of exhaustion or reduced participation from large buyers. The 50-day simple moving average (SMA) at $108,796 remains well below the current price, confirming the bullish momentum is still intact, but any breakdown below the $115K level could bring the 50-day SMA into focus as a potential support. Related Reading: All 40K Remaining Bitcoin From The 80K Whale Just Moved: $4.75B In One Wallet Now So far, the trend structure remains bullish, but with a growing number of analysts pointing to miner sales and whale activity, traders are closely monitoring price action for signs of a pullback or renewed breakout. If BTC can reclaim $123,230 with volume, the next leg up could follow. Until then, this consolidation may serve as a healthy cooldown before the next major move.

Crypto market indicators have aligned with 2017 bull run patterns. Solana and Sui led the crypto market rally of the past few years. Another cryptocurrency could outperform the other and lead the upcoming bull run. As Bitcoin leads a fresh market rally, one crypto analyst has identified strong similarities between today’s market conditions and those that preceded Bitcoin’s historic 23x price surge in 2017. Maybe not 23x, but something sensational coming for Bitcoin In his latest podcast , the analyst noted that while he doesn’t expect a direct repeat for Bitcoin itself, he believes the stage is set for a “sensational” bull run and for a new altcoin to deliver life-changing gains. The crypto analyst’s observations align with the dominant sentiment across the crypto community. Although most crypto investors do not expect Bitcoin to rally another 23x in 2025, they believe the flagship cryptocurrency is gearing up for something significant under current market conditions. Related: Bitcoin Price Prediction: BTC Eyes $125K Breakout as Triangle Squeeze Tightens Besides Bitcoin, many crypto users foresee a situation where another cryptocurrency could repl… The post Macro Indicators Rhyme With 2017 Bull Run When Bitcoin Surged 23x – Analyst appeared first on Coin Edition .
Bitcoin’s price cruised to a historical record high price level of around almost $123K earlier this week. Over the past 30 days, the asset is up by about 13%, at the time of this writing. Meanwhile, the comparable 30-day window posted 4.73% gains for the most popular US stock index. In other words, Bitcoin gained what the S&P 500 Index averages in a typical year in under one week while the stock market stalled. Moreover, for the month’s trades, BTC delivered returns on investment at nearly 3x the pace of stocks. With both Bitcoin and US stocks trading at historic record highs, the 30D BTC Pearson correlation to the S&P 500 climbed from slightly inverse at the start of July to a 72% positive correlation by 7/11. But the cryptocurrency is climbing higher and faster. That’s because its total market capitalization is much lower than the S&P 500’s, so it’s easier for bullish markets to move the needle. It’s also because Bitcoin is still relatively new and not as far along the adoption curve for its total addressable market as US stock favorites like Apple and Google. Here are four signs of a trillion-dollar sea change in Bitcoin valuations. 1. Bitcoin Price Historical All-Time High After hitting its ATH, Bitcoin’s market cap floated at $2.34 trillion. One trillion dollars ago, the last time the BTC economy moved at a $1.34 trillion market cap, it was May 28th, 2024. That was a trillion dollars added by saver-investors and users in just 13-and-a-half months. As the currency gathers pace to the peak of this multi-year bull run, it could pull that trick again in even less time. Wall Street is stoking this rally, diverting billions of dollars a week away from stocks and to Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs. Leveraged derivatives and futures traders are also pouring on the rocket fuel. On the current come up, BTC’s market cap just eclipsed Google’s and the global market valuation for all above-ground silver. That’s a major milestone for Bitcoin, a powerful and useful engine, and a payments and savings platform like silver markets. But unlike silver, BTC can move around the world nearly as fast as lightning. Unlike Google, it is secured by the blockchain. 2. US Govt Now Accepts BTC For Home Loans The US government now officially accepts Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies as financial collateral for home loans through Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. “Previously,” reported USA Today, “mortgage applicants had to convert any Bitcoin holdings into U.S. dollars if they wanted their crypto to count.” But now BTC holders can keep their crypto and list it as an asset on federal mortgage applications. Earlier, on 7/6, Benzinga and Yahoo Finance highlighted a question about Bitcoin’s use case that someone asked on Reddit: “If only 5% of the population owns BTC, what is the use case? So, if 19 million bitcoin are presently ‘minted’ and only 4% of the population are holders… What good is a ‘currency’ that only 5% of the population owns???” The article noted the stakes for Bitcoin’s market valuation, calling the answer to the Redditor’s question “a fundamental tension that’s been brewing in the crypto space for years.” At the end of June, the US Federal Housing Finance Agency has now taken one of the most compelling use cases for Bitcoin in its history and made it real. 3. Corporations, Whales, and VCs Bullish Murano Global, the techie real estate lending platform with a hot new stock on the Nasdaq, just signed an equity funding agreement in July to buy $500 million worth of Bitcoin. So the company is selling its own stock to buy as much as half a billion USD worth of BTC with the proceeds. Under this arrangement, investors give Murano a dollar in return for a dollar’s worth of their company’s stock. Murano turns around and uses that dollar to buy a dollar’s worth of Bitcoin. This supercharges the investor’s stake in the company with the promise of corporate finances hedged by Bitcoin from the risks of inflation and wasteful corporate spending. And that’s just an isolated example – you also have your Strategies, Metaplanets, and all other companies that are running this playbook to perfection during this cycle. 80,000 BTC From 2011 Make A Monster Splash The growing market of long-term corporate Bitcoin buyer-holders may have a willing seller in the mysterious “Sleeping Beauty” BTC addresses that have remained locked since 2011. In the first half of July, these 80,000 BTC moved for the first time in nearly a decade and a half. They may already be sold, or the owner may be getting them ready to scoop long-awaited profits in anticipation of a rally peak that this monster Bitcoin whale just can’t pass up at the moment. It’s not just Internet whales and corporate CFOs who are still outrageously bullish for the class-leading cryptocurrency. VCs are back to funding new blockchain startups in earnest. Bitcoin is back to raising venture capital at levels unseen since the last bull market peak in 2022.

The post Peter Schiff Slams Trump’s Crypto Bills, Calls Bitcoin a “Ponzi Scheme” appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News Gold advocate and long-time crypto critic Peter Schiff has taken aim at the U.S. government’s latest pro-crypto move, calling the newly signed GENIUS Act, CLARITY Act, and anti-CBDC bill a “legislative low point.” While the crypto community, including Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse , cheered the passing of these bills as a historic win for digital assets, Schiff warned that they may actually weaken the U.S. dollar and boost what he calls a “decentralized Ponzi scheme” in Bitcoin. The main purpose of the "landmark" crypto bills is to cloak Bitcoin—nothing more than a decentralized Ponzi scheme—in the trappings of legitimacy. The industry is using them to hype Bitcoin and other cryptos so insiders can cash out at higher prices. It’s a legislative low point. — Peter Schiff (@PeterSchiff) July 18, 2025 Crypto Bills Trigger Market Pullback Rather than rallying on the news, crypto prices dipped. Bitcoin (BTC) fell 2%, while top altcoins like Ethereum (ETH), Ripple (XRP), Binance Coin (BNB), and Solana (SOL) pulled back after recent gains. Schiff believes this proves the legislation is more about hype than substance. “The industry is using these bills to hype Bitcoin and other cryptos so insiders can cash out at higher prices,” he said, warning that the bills are fueling short-term gains at the cost of long-term stability. Schiff: Stablecoins Won’t Save the Dollar The GENIUS Act supports dollar-pegged stablecoins, which is a move praised by industry leaders like Rum’s Chris Pavlovski and Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong , who claim it will strengthen the dollar’s global position. But Schiff strongly disagrees. “Stablecoins are only as strong as the U.S. dollar itself,” he argued, calling the idea “nonsense” and warning that this supposed stability will fade as the dollar continues to weaken. He remains firm in his belief that gold, not Bitcoin or stablecoins, is the real store of value. Trump’s Crypto Push: Bold or Risky? Alongside the new bills, Trump is also pushing for an executive order to allow 401(k) retirement investments in Bitcoin and crypto. Schiff sees this as a dangerous move that could speed up the dollar’s decline. “Bitcoiners may cheer, as most bought Bitcoin to profit from a dollar crash. But ironically, gold will be the winner – Bitcoin will crash too,” he said. How Will This Move Shape Up? Schiff’s warnings raise serious questions about where the U.S. is headed with its new pro-crypto stance. While many see these bills as a step forward, critics like Schiff argue they may backfire, risking more harm to the economy than help. As crypto regulation takes shape, the debate is far from over: are these bills laying the groundwork for a digital future or opening the door to financial trouble .article_register_shortcode { padding: 18px 24px; border-radius: 8px; display: flex; align-items: center; margin: 6px 0 22px; border: 1px solid #0052CC4D; background: linear-gradient(90deg, rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.1) 0%, rgba(0, 82, 204, 0.1) 100%); } .article_register_shortcode .media-body h5 { color: #000000; font-weight: 600; font-size: 20px; line-height: 22px; text-align:left; } .article_register_shortcode .media-body h5 span { color: #0052CC; } .article_register_shortcode .media-body p { font-weight: 400; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; color: #171717B2; margin-top: 4px; text-align:left; } .article_register_shortcode .media-body{ padding-right: 14px; } .article_register_shortcode .media-button a { float: right; } .article_register_shortcode .primary-button img{ vertical-align: middle; width: 20px; margin: 0; display: inline-block; } @media (min-width: 581px) and (max-width: 991px) { .article_register_shortcode .media-body p { margin-bottom: 0; } } @media (max-width: 580px) { .article_register_shortcode { display: block; padding: 20px; } .article_register_shortcode img { max-width: 50px; } .article_register_shortcode .media-body h5 { font-size: 16px; } .article_register_shortcode .media-body { margin-left: 0px; } .article_register_shortcode .media-body p { font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-top: 6px; margin-bottom: 14px; } .article_register_shortcode .media-button a { float: unset; } .article_register_shortcode .secondary-button { margin-bottom: 0; } } Never Miss a Beat in the Crypto World!
