Charles Schwab today announced plans to add three tokens to the Schwab Crypto™ platform. The additions include:
- Solana (SOL)
- Avalanche (AVAX)
- Chainlink (LINK)
The additions are part of Schwab’s plans to thoughtfully expand its digital asset offering with established cryptocurrencies that align with client demand. These new digital assets will be available in the coming months for clients to buy and sell in their Schwab Crypto accounts. Schwab Crypto, which began rolling out to clients in May 2026, already provides direct access to bitcoin and ethereum trading.
“With this expansion, clients will have more choices to build a digital asset allocation alongside the investing and banking experience they know and trust at Schwab,” said Joe Vietri, Head of Digital Assets at Charles Schwab. “These additions are consistent with our approach to provide clients with access to familiar cryptocurrencies backed by an ecosystem of education, tools, resources, and support to make informed decisions about how crypto might fit into their broader investing goals.”
Schwab Crypto provides direct access to digital assets trading, combined with a range of resources and support to help clients, including:
- In-depth digital assets education and resources, including insights and commentary from the Schwab Center for Financial Research and crypto-focused content through Schwab Coaching®, to help investors understand the digital assets market and how digital assets fit into a broader investing strategy.
- The ability to view and trade cryptocurrency and traditional investments side-by-side across Schwab.com, Schwab Mobile, and thinkorswim®, Schwab’s award-winning trading platform.
- Access to Schwab’s award-winning 24/7 support from thousands of tenured service professionals by phone or chat.
-
Pricing among the lowest in the industry at 75 basis points on the dollar value of each trade.
Schwab plans to add additional cryptocurrencies and digital assets to the Schwab Crypto platform over time.
