Financial giant Charles Schwab, with over $13 trillion in client assets, has added Solana ($SOL), Avalanche ($AVAX), and Chainlink ($LINK) to its Schwab Crypto™ platform, allowing eligible retail clients to buy and sell the 3 cryptocurrencies alongside Bitcoin and Ethereum.
The expansion gives Schwab Crypto clients access to 5 digital assets. The company first announced plans to introduce $SOL, $AVAX, and $LINK in August.
Charles Schwab began rolling out Schwab Crypto in May 2026 through an early-access program before making the platform available to all eligible retail clients in October. The additions reflect Schwab's strategy to expand its digital asset offering with established cryptocurrencies that align with client demand.
What Schwab Crypto Offers Investors
Beyond direct cryptocurrency trading, Schwab Crypto combines digital asset access with educational resources, trading tools, and customer support. Clients can access insights and commentary from the Schwab Center for Financial Research, alongside crypto-focused educational content through Schwab Coaching®. These resources aim to help investors understand digital assets and evaluate their role in broader investment strategies.
The platform also allows clients to view and trade cryptocurrencies alongside traditional investments through Schwab.com, Schwab Mobile, and thinkorswim®. The company charges a 0.75% fee on each trade, which it describes as among the industry's lowest pricing.
Schwab Plans Further Crypto Expansion
The latest additions mark another step in Schwab's entry into the digital asset market. The financial giant manages approximately $13.33 trillion in client assets, giving its cryptocurrency offering access to an established retail investment base.
“We continue to expand Schwab Crypto to give clients greater choice and flexibility in how they invest in digital assets alongside their broader investments. Our focus remains on delivering the experience, value, education and support clients expect from Schwab.” - Joe Vietri, Head of Digital Assets at Charles Schwab.
Schwab plans to introduce additional cryptocurrencies and other digital assets to the platform over time, although it has not disclosed which assets it will add next.
