Schwab Opens Solana, Avalanche and Chainlink Trading to Its Retail Crypto Clients

Solana (SOL), Avalanche (AVAX) and Chainlink (LINK) are now tradable on Schwab Crypto, Charles Schwab’s direct crypto trading service, the company announced on Monday. The three tokens sit next to bitcoin and ether, taking the platform to five digital assets.

In late August, Schwab said it planned to list the same three tokens but did not give a date.

“We continue to expand Schwab Crypto to give clients greater choice and flexibility in how they invest in digital assets alongside their broader investments,” Joe Vietri, Schwab’s head of digital assets, said in the release. “Our focus remains on delivering the experience, value, education and support clients expect from Schwab.”

Schwab Crypto opened to a first group of clients in May 2026 and reached all eligible retail clients in October, according to the release. Each trade costs 75 basis points (0.75%) of its dollar value. Crypto sits in the same account view as clients’ stocks and funds, whether they log in on the website, the Schwab Mobile app or thinkorswim, Schwab’s trading platform.

Schwab Crypto is offered in every U.S. state except New York and Louisiana, according to the disclosures in Monday’s release, the same carve-out Schwab listed in April and August. The same disclosures say the crypto is not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) or protected by the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC).

The draw is distribution: with $13.33 trillion in client assets and 40.3 million active brokerage accounts as of September’s end, Schwab can put each new token in front of clients who already trade stocks and funds with it. The rollout has been gradual: two assets when trading opened in the spring, then three more roughly six months later.

Schwab called the new listings part of a plan to grow its offering with “established cryptocurrencies that align with client demand,” and said it intends to add more cryptocurrencies and digital assets over time. The release did not say which assets could follow.
