Charles Schwab Adds Spot Trading for SOL, AVAX, and LINK

on November 9, Charles Schwab announced the addition of three tradable tokens to its Schwab Crypto platform: Solana (SOL/USD), Avalanche (AVAX/USD), and Chainlink (LINK/USD). Alongside the existing Bitcoin and Ethereum, customers can now trade five digital assets through the platform.

Schwab Crypto began rolling out to customers in batches starting in May 2026, and by October it had been made available to all eligible retail clients. The service is offered by Charles Schwab Premier Bank and is accessible in accounts across all U.S. states except New York and Louisiana; each transaction carries a fee of 75 basis points on the trade amount, and customers can view and trade crypto assets alongside traditional investments in the same interface on Schwab.com, Schwab Mobile, and thinkorswim.

Joe Vietri, Head of Digital Assets at Charles Schwab, stated that expanding Schwab Crypto is intended to provide customers with greater choice and flexibility within their overall portfolios, and the company plans to continue adding more crypto assets and other digital assets in the future. The announcement also warned that crypto assets are not deposits, are not protected by FDIC insurance or SIPC, and are highly volatile.
