- Schwab blocked outside agents and built its own. Both moves guard a $493 billion sweep.
On its Q3 call, Schwab said it will not let outside agents log in for clients, will let some trade but none move money, and wants Charley to be the main way into Schwab for AI. Nearly $493 billion in sweep cash sits behind that door. In Schumpeter's terms an incumbent can delay a gale. It can't cancel one, and the exit was never Schwab's to lock.
- Muse can't move a dollar. The market repriced Schwab and LPL anyway.
Meta's Muse reads bank balances through Plaid but doesn't trade, advise or (by anything Meta or Plaid has said) move money. Schwab still fell 6.1% and LPL 7.5% in one session. What got repriced was the revenue that comes from customers not paying attention, and an agent is the thing that pays attention.
