Charles Schwab brings Solana, Avalanche and Chainlink to retail investors

Charles Schwab clients can now trade Solana, Avalanche and Chainlink through their Schwab Crypto accounts, after the brokerage added the three tokens to its platform, according to a Monday press release.

The addition is part of Schwab’s expansion of its digital asset lineup, focusing on established crypto assets that clients have expressed interest in, the company said.

Joe Vietri, Schwab’s head of digital assets, said the firm is continuing to grow Schwab Crypto to give clients more options and flexibility in investing in digital assets alongside their broader holdings. He said the focus remains on offering the experience, value, education and support clients expect from Schwab.

Schwab Crypto started rolling out in May 2026 through an early access program and opened to all eligible retail clients in October. Clients now have five digital assets to choose from on the platform: Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Avalanche and Chainlink.

The company said it would add more crypto and digital assets to Schwab Crypto over time.

Alongside direct crypto trading, Schwab offers educational materials and research to help investors better understand digital assets and their place in an investment portfolio. Its resources include research and market commentary from the Schwab Center for Financial Research and crypto education through Schwab Coaching. Trades carry a fee of 75 basis points of their dollar value, which the company says ranks among the industry’s lowest.
