Bitcoin (BTC) and cryptocurrencies had a weak start to 2026, affected by the downward trend that began in October. While Bitcoin is below $90,000 and Ethereum below $3,000, expectations for an uptrend in 2026 still persist.
At this point, Charles Schwab CEO Rick Wurster stated that he has a positive outlook for Bitcoin in 2026.
The renowned CEO stated that the macroeconomic environment in 2026 could be favorable for Bitcoin.
In an interview with Schwab Network, Wurster pointed to quantitative easing, the Fed’s bond-buying program, and weak demand for US government bonds as factors that would support Bitcoin’s growth.
The renowned CEO believes these factors can increase liquidity and shift capital into assets like Bitcoin (BTC), particularly through spot Bitcoin ETFs.
“Historically, such conditions have driven institutional and individual investors towards alternative stores of value. Consequently, the combination of these factors could create a favorable environment for scarce assets like Bitcoin.”
Charles Schwab CEO maintains his bullish outlook for 2026, and the bank is expanding its cryptocurrency offerings despite recent market downturns.
Accordingly, the firm currently supports Solana and Micro Solana futures and plans to offer spot cryptocurrency trading services in the first half of 2026.
