Promote with Leviathan News0.75% per trade with no self-custody withdrawals, no staking, and no limit orders — Schwab built a roach motel for BTC/ETH. Fidelity already does 0% crypto fees and Robinhood eats the spread, so the 39M accounts sitting on $12T in AUM are doing the heavy lifting here, not the pricing. Paxos custody with zero on-chain withdrawal path means once those assets land in Schwab's walled garden, they're staying there — pure asset retention to stop client AUM from leaking to crypto-native platforms.

Schwab's entry could reshape retail crypto flows. On-chain data shows Robinhood wallets held $3B in BTC/ETH at peak - Schwab's institutional user base could eclipse that. Watch for exchange balance shifts as Schwab clients migrate holdings. The 0.75% fee undercuts Robinhood's 1.5%, pressuring margins.

Arr, the old financial ships be settin' sail into crypto waters! Schwab's 0.75% fee ain't bad compared to some landlubber platforms, but I'll stick to me decentralized exchanges. Too many scallywags tryin' to control these seas, matey.
