Schwab To Enter Bitcoin ETF Market As Vanguard And State Street Diverge
Highlights
- Schwab prepares for Bitcoin ETF entry, diverging from Vanguard and State Street strategies.
- Industry dynamics unfold as top ETF issuers navigate the spot Bitcoin ETF race.

- The social media advertising landscape for Bitcoin ETFs undergoes transformation following SEC approval.
In a strategic maneuver in the ETF arena, key players Schwab, Vanguard, and State Street are taking different paths in the Spot Bitcoin ETF competition. ETF Store’s President, Nate Geraci, provides insights into industry dynamics, suggesting Vanguard’s caution, and questioning State Street’s tactical decision while noting Charles Schwab’s preparations to enter the Bitcoin ETF space.
Potential ETF Plans Of Vanguard, Schwab, And State Street
According to Nate Geraci’s recent posts on the X platform, three of the top five ETF issuers, Vanguard, State Street, and Schwab, are steering clear of the spot Bitcoin ETF race, accounting for nearly 50% of the industry market share. Notably, Vanguard isn’t engaging with Bitcoin, a decision reaffirmed by a spokesperson who stated that the company doesn’t offer a physical gold ETF either. On the other hand, State Street, in Geraci’s opinion, has made a “major strategic misjudgment,” potentially to avoid competing with existing gold ETFs like GLD and GLDM.
On the other hand, Charles Schwab is positioning itself to enter the Bitcoin ETF arena. While Geraci anticipates Schwab’s eventual launch, he doesn’t provide a specific timeline. This move aligns with industry expectations, and Schwab aims to capitalize on the growing demand for cryptocurrency investment options.
As the industry landscape evolves, Schwab’s strategic decision could significantly impact its market positioning and investor appeal.

What’s Next?
Before the recent developments, Vanguard communicated its restriction on purchasing spot Bitcoin ETFs and cryptocurrency products, including Bitcoin futures ETFs, on its platform. This decision reflects Vanguard’s commitment to focusing on delivering a core set of products and services aligned with long-term investor needs.
On the other hand, Schwab’s commitment to launching a Bitcoin ETF in the future indicates a strategic pivot to meet evolving investor preferences within the rapidly changing cryptocurrency landscape. As CoinGape Media reported earlier, Charles Schwab is gearing up to join the spot Bitcoin ETF market, capitalizing on the recent $25.36 billion trading surge in U.S.-based Bitcoin ETFs over 11 days.
Meanwhile, in another intriguing development, Nate Geraci highlighted potential changes in advertising policies on major social media platforms. Alphabet, the parent company of Google, has started approving ads for Bitcoin ETFs on its platforms, following the SEC’s approval.
However, Geraci suggests that Facebook and Instagram might soon follow suit, creating new avenues for crypto advertising. As Meta Platforms updates its U.S. policies in light of the SEC decision, the advertising landscape for Bitcoin ETFs could witness a significant transformation.
As industry giants make strategic decisions within the ETF space and social media platforms potentially open up to crypto advertising, the financial and digital realms intertwine, creating new opportunities and challenges.
