2026-11-09 22:05

According to TechFlow, on November 9, Charles Schwab announced that the Schwab Crypto platform has added three tradable tokens: Solana (SOL/USD), Avalanche (AVAX/USD), and Chainlink (LINK/USD). Together with the existing Bitcoin and Ethereum, clients can now trade five digital assets through the platform.

Schwab Crypto began rolling out to clients in May 2026 and covered all eligible retail clients by October. The service is provided by Charles Schwab Premier Bank, and accounts are available in all U.S. states except New York and Louisiana. A 75-basis-point fee is charged per transaction on the executed amount, and clients can view and trade crypto assets and traditional investments on the same interface via Schwab.com, Schwab Mobile, and thinkorswim.

Joe Vietri, Head of Digital Assets at Charles Schwab, said the expansion of Schwab Crypto is intended to give clients more 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 cautioned that crypto assets are not deposits, are not covered by FDIC insurance or SIPC protection, and are highly volatile.
