Wall Street Titan Dives Into Bitcoin: Schwab’s Bold Crypto Bet by 2026

Korean Crypto Surge Hints at Global Bitcoin Breakout
Bitcoin is trading at a growing premium in South Korea, signaling increased local demand and a possible turning point for global crypto momentum. After briefly dipping below global averages on April 9, the Korean market saw a sharp reversal, with prices climbing to nearly 3% above international benchmarks by April 15. Analysts see this divergence—especially when paired with discounted U.S. prices—as a key indicator of bullish sentiment and tightening supply on Korean exchanges. These conditions often precede wider price rallies, making South Korea a critical bellwether for global market shifts.
South Korean traders are paying up to 3% more than global rates for Bitcoin, reflecting strong demand and limited supply—factors often associated with imminent market rallies.
The price gap between Korean and U.S. exchanges highlights diverging sentiment, with Korea showing bullish momentum while U.S. demand remains more subdued.
