Charles Schwab has announced plans to expand the range of digital assets available in Schwab Crypto™ accounts, adding three tokens to the platform: Solana (SOL), Avalanche (AVAX), and Chainlink (LINK).

In the coming months, Schwab Crypto clients will be able to buy and sell solana, avalanche, and chainlink directly through their accounts. Schwab Crypto, which began rolling out to clients in May 2026, already provides direct access to bitcoin and ethereum trading. The three additions span distinct corners of the crypto market: Solana and Avalanche are Layer-1 smart-contract blockchains used heavily in decentralized finance and stablecoin activity, while Chainlink is a decentralized oracle network that supplies real-world data to smart contracts across DeFi and tokenization use cases. All three are long-established, large-cap cryptocurrencies.

According to the firm, the additions are part of Schwab's plans to thoughtfully expand its digital asset offering with established cryptocurrencies that align with client demand. Schwab also plans to add additional cryptocurrencies and digital assets to the Schwab Crypto platform over time. The move narrows a listing gap with retail competitors — Robinhood already offers SOL, AVAX, and LINK, and Fidelity provides spot crypto trading to retail clients — and follows a period in which US policymakers enacted stablecoin legislation and continued work on digital asset market-structure rules. Schwab leadership had previously said regulatory clarity would shape the timing of a broader spot crypto rollout.

Executive commentary

"With this expansion, clients will have more choices to build a digital asset allocation alongside the investing and banking experience they know and trust at Schwab," said Joe Vietri, Head of Digital Assets at Charles Schwab.

"These additions are consistent with our approach to provide clients with access to familiar cryptocurrencies backed by an ecosystem of education, tools, resources, and support to make informed decisions about how crypto might fit into their broader investing goals," Vietri added.

Platform features

Schwab Crypto provides direct access to digital assets trading, combined with a range of resources and support to help clients, including:

• In-depth digital assets education and resources — insights and commentary from the Schwab Center for Financial Research and crypto-focused content through Schwab Coaching®, designed to help investors understand the digital assets market and how digital assets fit into a broader investing strategy.
• Integrated investing experience — the ability to view and trade cryptocurrency and traditional investments side-by-side across Schwab.com, Schwab Mobile, and thinkorswim®, Schwab's award-winning trading platform.
• Around-the-clock service — access to Schwab's award-winning 24/7 support from thousands of tenured service professionals by phone or chat.
• Low-cost pricing — pricing among the lowest in the industry at 75 basis points on the dollar value of each trade, meaning a client pays $0.75 per $100 traded.

For now, the exact launch date remains open — Schwab has said only that the three tokens will arrive "in the coming months" — and the firm's stated plan to keep adding assets over time gives clients two concrete details to watch as the rollout continues.
