Bitcoin (BTC) and cryptocurrencies got off to a slow start in 2026, affected by the downward trend that started in October. Although Bitcoin is below $90,000 and Ethereum is below $3,000, hopes for a 2026 uptrend remain strong.
At this point, Charles Schwab CEO Rick Wurster said he has a positive outlook for Bitcoin in 2026.
The famous CEO said that the macroeconomic environment in 2026 could be favorable for Bitcoin.
In an interview with Schwab Network, Wurster pointed to quantitative easing, the Federal Reserve’s bond buying program, and weak demand for U.S. government bonds as factors supporting Bitcoin’s growth.
The prominent CEO believes that these factors will increase liquidity and allow capital to be moved into assets such as Bitcoin (BTC), especially through Spot Bitcoin ETFs.
“Historically, such conditions have driven institutional and retail investors towards alternative stores of value. As a result, these factors may combine to create a favorable environment for scarce assets like Bitcoin.”
Charles Schwab CEO maintains bullish outlook for 2026 as bank expands crypto offerings despite recent market downturn.
Therefore, the company currently supports Solana and Micro Solana futures and plans to offer spot crypto trading services in the first half of 2026.
