Charles Schwab Expands Crypto Platform to Five Assets With Addition of SOL, AVAX and LINK

Charles Schwab added Solana, Avalanche and Chainlink to its Schwab Crypto trading platform on Monday, November 9, bringing the total number of directly tradeable digital assets to five alongside Bitcoin and Ethereum. The expansion opens access to three additional altcoins across Schwab's approximately 40 million brokerage accounts. XRP was notably absent from the new additions.

Schwab Crypto initially began rolling out to clients in May 2026 with Bitcoin and Ethereum, with CEO Rick Wurster confirming in October that all clients could access the platform. The addition of SOL, AVAX and LINK had been previously announced as a planned expansion. Despite the broader availability that Wall Street-scale distribution implies, only one of the three newly listed coins posted a notable price gain on the news, with SOL faring better than AVAX and LINK on the day.
