Charles Schwab began the U.S. retail rollout of spot crypto trading on Wednesday, allowing an initial group of clients to trade Bitcoin and Ether directly through the Schwab Crypto platform, with a wider rollout planned through 2026. Schwab has roughly 35 million active brokerage accounts, and combined with Morgan Stanley and Fidelity, over 50 million U.S. investors now have direct spot crypto access outside dedicated exchanges. In a viral story, X user @cprkrn recovered a Bitcoin wallet containing 5 BTC (~$400,000) that had been inaccessible for 11 years by using Anthropic's Claude AI. The AI analyzed old files and identified incorrect decryption logic, enabling extraction of private keys. Prediction market platform Myriad adopted Chainlink as its official oracle, using the Chainlink Runtime Environment to automate market creation, resolution, and settlement, starting with BTC, ETH, BNB, and SOL markets, with RWA markets to follow. This follows Polymarket's similar adoption of Chainlink. Macro: BTC -1.5% at $79.3k after hot PPI data and $630M in BTC ETF outflows. Oil fell 2% to $97 on expectations of a U.S.-China summit outcome regarding Iran.
