Charles Schwab to add Solana, Avalanche and Chainlink to crypto trading platform

Charles Schwab, a prominent brokerage firm, is set to enhance its cryptocurrency offerings by incorporating three new tokens: Solana, Avalanche, and Chainlink. This move is part of the company's strategy to provide clients with broader cryptocurrency trading options. Currently, Coinbase, Robinhood, and JPMorgan have also embarked on similar initiatives.

Joe Vietri, the head of digital assets at Charles Schwab, revealed that these new tokens will join Bitcoin and Ethereum, which are already available through the firm's digital asset trading platform, Schwab Crypto. The company began rolling out this service to clients in May 2026 as part of its efforts to expand into direct cryptocurrency trading.

According to the company, this expansion stems from client demand for established digital assets. Schwab plans to introduce more cryptocurrencies and digital assets to the platform in the future. The new additions will allow clients to construct a diversified digital asset portfolio alongside their existing investment and banking services at Schwab.

With this update, clients will gain easier access to Solana, a blockchain platform known for its high-performance capabilities, through their 39.9 million brokerage accounts, totaling $13.04 trillion in client assets. Solana's official X account announced that Charles Schwab is providing direct Solana access to these accounts, marking a significant milestone in the company's crypto offerings.
