New research from Charles Schwab indicates that the majority of US cryptocurrency investors are looking to increase their holdings over the next year, outpacing interest in traditional assets such as stocks, ETFs, bonds, and mutual funds.

Younger investors drive crypto momentum Crypto ownership continues to grow Survey details

Younger investors drive crypto momentum

According to the 2026 Modern Wealth Survey conducted by Charles Schwab, six out of ten current crypto investors expect to invest more in digital assets in the coming 12 months. This figure surpasses the intention to increase investments among ETF holders (56%), stock investors (52%), bondholders (42%), and mutual fund investors (41%).

Joe Vietri, Head of Digital Assets at Charles Schwab, highlighted that younger generations are at the forefront of this trend:

“Existing cryptocurrency investors are certainly leaning in, particularly younger investors who are driving much of the interest and momentum in cryptocurrency. But to me, the bigger story is that cryptocurrency is increasingly viewed as a complement to traditional investments.”

The survey found that millennials are the demographic most likely to own cryptocurrency, with ownership rates more than four times higher than among Boomers.

Crypto ownership continues to grow

The report revealed that one in five Americans currently owns cryptocurrency, while another one in five is interested in making their first crypto purchase. Among all investors, nearly half reported owning crypto assets.

Charles Schwab has enhanced its digital asset offerings in recent years. In early 2026, the company started a phased launch of Schwab Crypto, a platform that provides retail clients with direct bitcoin trading alongside educational resources and professional support.

In addition to spot trading, Schwab also offers crypto-linked exchange-traded funds, bitcoin futures, and the Schwab Crypto Thematic Index ETF. CEO Rick Wurster stated that Schwab clients hold more than 20% of all crypto exchange-traded products industrywide.

Wolfspeed receives a conditional loan commitment of 1.5 billions dollars from the U.S. Department of Defense

Reuters, October 7 — Chip manufacturer Wolfspeed (WOLF.N) announced on Wednesday that it has received a conditional loan commitment of up to 1.5 billions USD from the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) to expand domestic production of silicon carbide materials and power devices. Boosted by this news, its stock price surged by 27% in after-hours trading. Wolfspeed uses silicon carbide to produce chips, which are more energy efficient and widely utilized in electric vehicles, solar inverters, and industrial power systems that require large amounts of power conversion. The company stated that this 30-year conditional loan commitment, provided through the DoD’s Office of Strategic Capital, demonstrates efforts to optimize its capital structure and solidify its financial foundation. Wolfspeed plans to use the funds to upgrade its gallium nitride technology to meet the demands of next-generation communication infrastructure and electronic warfare systems, as well as to develop radiation-resistant capabilities. The financing is subject to due diligence, the signing of definitive agreements, government approvals, and other conditions. According to proposed terms, Wolfspeed will be required to issue warrants to the DoD, allowing it to purchase up to 7.5% of Wolfspeed’s fully diluted equity.
