Schwab Opens Solana, Avalanche and Chainlink Trading to Its Retail Crypto Clients

Brief

By Dextape Desk · November 9, 2026

Charles Schwab has enabled trading in Solana, Avalanche and Chainlink on Schwab Crypto, its direct crypto service, the firm said Monday. The three tokens join bitcoin and ether, bringing the platform to five assets. In late August, Schwab had said it planned these listings without a date. Joe Vietri, who leads digital assets there, said the move gives clients more choice. Eligible retail customers gained access in October, following an initial rollout to a smaller cohort in May 2026. Each trade costs 0.75% of its dollar value, and holdings appear alongside stocks and funds. The product is unavailable in New York and Louisiana, and it has no FDIC or SIPC protection. Schwab plans to add more cryptocurrencies, but the release did not name them.

Why it matters: It shows how a large brokerage can widen its token lineup for clients who already hold stocks and funds on one platform.

Mentioned: Solana, Chainlink, Avalanche, Bitcoin, Ethereum
