Charles Schwab announced on November 9 that Schwab Crypto had added trading in Solana (SOL/USD), Avalanche (AVAX/USD) and Chainlink (LINK/USD), according to TechFlow. Alongside Bitcoin and Ethereum, the additions brought the platform’s available digital assets to five.
Broader access, but no usage figures
Schwab Crypto began a phased rollout in May 2026 and reached all eligible retail clients in October. The service is provided by Charles Schwab Premier Bank, with accounts available in every U.S. state except New York and Louisiana.
Clients can view and trade crypto assets alongside traditional investments through Schwab.com, Schwab Mobile and thinkorswim. Each transaction carries a fee of 75 basis points, or 0.75% of its value.
The expansion increases the range of assets available to eligible clients. However, the report provides no customer participation figures, trading volumes or retention data, so it does not establish how extensively clients are using the service.
More assets planned; protections remain limited
Schwab’s head of digital assets, Joe Vietri, said the expansion was intended to give clients more choice and flexibility within their overall portfolios. The company plans to add more crypto assets and other digital assets, though the report gives no timetable.
The announcement also cautioned that crypto assets are not deposits, are not covered by FDIC insurance or SIPC protection, and are highly volatile.
