Charles Schwab opens direct cryptocurrency trading in 48 U.S. states, supporting bitcoin and ether

Charles Schwab has begun direct trading of bitcoin and ether across about 40 million brokerage accounts, opening the service in 48 U.S. states excluding New York and Louisiana. The product, called Schwab Crypto, carries a 0.75 percent trading fee and is operated by Charles Schwab Premier Bank and Paxos. Schwab has kept risk warnings, saying even a 1 to 3 percent allocation can overly affect a portfolio.
