Schwab Crypto added trading in Solana (SOL/USD), Avalanche (AVAX/USD) and Chainlink (LINK/USD), bringing its lineup to five digital assets alongside Bitcoin and Ethereum, according to a November 9, 2026 report from TechFlow citing Charles Schwab’s announcement.
The expansion broadens the crypto selection available through Schwab’s existing investment interfaces. Customers can view and trade crypto alongside traditional investments on Schwab.com, Schwab Mobile and thinkorswim. The announcement concerns asset availability; it does not provide figures on customer adoption or trading activity.
Access, fees and rollout
Schwab Crypto began opening to customers in phases in May 2026 and reached all eligible retail customers in October. The service is provided by Charles Schwab Premier Bank, with accounts available in every U.S. state except New York and Louisiana.
Each trade carries a fee of 75 basis points, or 0.75%, of the transaction value.
Schwab’s head of digital assets, Joe Vietri, said the expansion was intended to give customers more choice and flexibility within their overall portfolios. He also said the company planned to add more crypto assets and other digital assets in the future. The report did not specify which assets or a timetable.
Broader access does not change the risks
The announcement also warned that crypto assets are not deposits, are not covered by FDIC insurance or SIPC protection, and are highly volatile. Their inclusion alongside traditional investments in the same interface does not remove those distinctions.
