Charles Schwab plans to add Solana, Avalanche and Chainlink trading

This is a product-access expansion, not a live launch for the three new assets. Schwab says the additions will become available in the coming months and reserves the right to delay, modify or withdraw support based on market, regulatory, operational or risk developments.

A brokerage wrapper for crypto access

Schwab Crypto began rolling out to clients in May 2026 through Charles Schwab Premier Bank, SSB. The company says clients can view and trade digital assets and traditional investments side by side on Schwab.com, Schwab Mobile and thinkorswim. CoinDesk's report identified the planned additions as part of Schwab's broader move into direct crypto trading.

The announcement lists pricing of 75 basis points on the dollar value of each trade. It also says Schwab Crypto is available in all U.S. states except New York and Louisiana, is not available internationally, and is subject to eligibility and account-approval rules.

What the plan does not establish

Schwab has not published a precise availability date for SOL, AVAX or LINK, disclosed expected trading volume, or said whether additional tokens will be available at the same time. The company describes the assets as additions it plans to make, so the current evidence supports future access rather than completed market availability.

The company's risk disclosure says cryptocurrencies are not deposits, are not FDIC-insured or SIPC-protected, and may lose value. The new listings would widen the menu inside a regulated brokerage account, but they would not remove the volatility, custody, eligibility or jurisdiction risks attached to the underlying assets.
