Charles Schwab to Expand Crypto Platform with Solana, Avalanche, and Chainlink

Charles Schwab announced plans to add Solana (SOL), Avalanche (AVAX), and Chainlink (LINK) to Schwab Crypto accounts in the coming months. The platform launched in May 2026 and currently offers Bitcoin and Ethereum trading at 75 basis points per transaction.

Charles Schwab will add Solana (SOL), Avalanche (AVAX), and Chainlink (LINK) to Schwab Crypto accounts in the coming months, according to The Daily Hodl. The platform began rolling out to clients in May 2026 and already offers direct access to Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) trading at 75 basis points per transaction, per The Daily Hodl.

Joe Vietri, Head of Digital Assets at Charles Schwab, stated, according to The Daily Hodl: "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. 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."

Schwab plans to add more cryptocurrencies and digital assets over time, focusing on established ones that align with client demand, per The Daily Hodl. Users can view and trade crypto alongside traditional investments on platforms like Schwab.com and thinkorswim, according to The Daily Hodl. Schwab Crypto features in-depth education resources and offers 24/7 support, per The Daily Hodl.

The service is offered by Charles Schwab Premier Bank SSB and is subject to eligibility requirements, according to The Daily Hodl. The service is also subject to standard risk disclosures for cryptocurrencies, per The Daily Hodl.

The key fact

Joe Vietri, Head of Digital Assets at Charles Schwab, stated the additions are aimed at providing clients with established cryptocurrencies backed by education, tools, and resources, according to The Daily Hodl.

The Brief

Watch for concrete launch dates for SOL, AVAX, and LINK within the next quarter. The timeline matters: delays or indefinite pushes suggest regulatory friction. Track whether the eligible customer base expands or remains restricted to Premier-tier accounts, and whether 75 basis points remains competitive as other brokers enter the market. The premise holds if adoption across the three new assets meets Schwab's internal targets; it breaks if rollout stalls or eligibility constraints severely limit access.
