Schwab plans to expand crypto lineup beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum
Ecosystem ·
Charles Schwab intends to bring Solana, Avalanche, and Chainlink onto its crypto trading platform in the coming months, according to wublockchain.xyz.
The brokerage's crypto arm, Schwab Crypto, opened to clients in May 2026 and until now has only offered direct spot access to Bitcoin and Ethereum. The planned addition of SOL, AVAX, and LINK would mark the platform's first expansion past those two original assets, broadening the set of tokens available to Schwab's client base.
Schwab Crypto operates through the firm's top-tier bank subsidiary, meaning the new listings would run on infrastructure already built for regulated custody and trading rather than a separate or newly stood-up unit. That structural detail suggests the rollout is framed as an extension of an existing regulated offering rather than a new product line.
Multiple accounts of the plan describe the same three assets and the same near-term timeline, with the cluster of coverage numbering four distinct sources. Descriptions vary slightly in phrasing—some calling it a launch of "token trading" and others an expansion of "spot crypto trading"—but the core claim, that SOL, AVAX, and LINK are being added to Schwab's client-facing crypto trading service, is consistent across them.
Not yet specified is an exact launch date within the "coming months" window, nor details on trading limits, custody arrangements specific to the three new tokens, or whether the rollout will be phased by asset. It also remains unclear whether additional tokens are under consideration beyond this initial three-asset expansion.
