Charles Schwab exec: this crypto cycle is different because of RWA tokenization
- —Charles Schwab custodies about $13 trillion in client assets, with crypto still a small share
- —Schwab clients hold roughly 20% of spot crypto ETF assets
- —About $50 billion in real-world assets has been tokenized across blockchains
- —Bitcoin volatility has fallen to around 40 from 50–60 in the previous cycle
Why it matters: Tokenization could weaken crypto's dependence on bitcoin's price and speed up institutional adoption.
