Charles Schwab expands crypto trading with new assets
6.7 Adoption Charles Schwab will soon add Solana, Avalanche, and Chainlink to its crypto platform, expanding beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum. This move reflects client demand and signals broader crypto adoption.
Charles Schwab is set to expand its Schwab Crypto platform by introducing Solana (SOL), Avalanche (AVAX), and Chainlink (LINK) as tradable digital assets in the coming months. This follows the platform’s initial launch of direct spot trading for Bitcoin and Ethereum in May 2026. Schwab aims to integrate crypto trading within its established brokerage environment, allowing clients to manage digital assets alongside traditional investments. With over $13 trillion in client assets and tens of millions of accounts, this expansion represents a significant step toward mainstream crypto adoption. The platform charges a 0.75% fee per trade and plans to introduce additional crypto assets and features, such as in-kind deposits and withdrawals. The addition of SOL, AVAX, and LINK responds to increasing client demand for established cryptocurrencies and signals Schwab’s commitment to a broader digital asset offering.
