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.
