Charles Schwab has broadened its digital-asset offering, with Chainlink (LINK), Solana (SOL) and Avalanche (AVAX) becoming tradable on Schwab Crypto for eligible US retail clients. The rollout went live on Monday and lifts the platform's lineup to five digital assets, up from the two tokens it launched with, COINOTAG reported on November 9, 2026.
The brokerage confirmed the move, marking the first expansion of Schwab Crypto's asset lineup since the platform debuted.
From Two Tokens to Five
Schwab Crypto entered the market supporting Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH), the two largest cryptocurrencies by market value. With LINK, SOL and AVAX now added, the offering spans five digital assets in total, extending the platform beyond its initial Bitcoin-and-Ethereum lineup.
The Newly Added Tokens
- Chainlink (LINK) — Chainlink is a decentralized oracle network that connects blockchains with external data, allowing smart contracts to reference real-world information. LINK is the network's associated token.
- Solana (SOL) — Solana is a blockchain network built for high-throughput, low-cost transactions and is widely used to run smart contracts and decentralized applications.
- Avalanche (AVAX) — Avalanche is a smart-contract platform whose AVAX token is used to pay network fees and helps secure the network.
All three tokens are available to eligible US retail clients through Schwab Crypto, the brokerage's digital-asset trading platform. Read together, the additions mean the lineup now covers distinct functional layers of the crypto market — an oracle network alongside two smart-contract platforms — rather than stopping at the two largest cryptocurrencies by market value.
Context
Charles Schwab ranks among the largest brokerage and wealth-management firms in the United States, and its entry into crypto trading has drawn close attention across the financial industry. Adding altcoins such as LINK, SOL and AVAX marks a step beyond the narrow two-asset lineup with which the firm first entered the digital-asset market.
Against that backdrop, the makeup of a five-token menu at a brokerage of Schwab's scale offers one measure of which parts of the crypto market are being folded into conventional brokerage channels for US retail clients, with access still determined by eligibility. Because the move is the platform's first lineup expansion since its debut, further changes to the asset list — and the eligibility terms that govern who can trade — will be the details to watch as Schwab Crypto takes shape.
