Key takeaways
- 1Schwab adds SOL, AVAX and LINK to its crypto platform
- 2Joe Vietri says Schwab continues to expand its crypto offering
Charles Schwab launched trading of Solana (SOL), Avalanche (AVAX) and Chainlink (LINK) for its Schwab Crypto clients on 9 November 2026, expanding the platform that already offered Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH). The addition brings the total number of supported digital assets to five.
Schwab’s head of digital assets, Joe Vietri, said the firm “continues to expand Schwab Crypto”. He confirmed that SOL, AVAX and LINK are now available for purchase and sale through the same brokerage interface used for BTC and ETH.
Schwab is a US‑based brokerage regulated by the SEC that provides a range of investment products, including a dedicated crypto platform. Solana is a high‑throughput blockchain, Avalanche offers interoperable networks for decentralized finance, and Chainlink supplies decentralized oracle data to smart contracts.
The move signals Schwab’s confidence in growing retail demand for smart‑contract tokens beyond the original Bitcoin‑Ethereum pair. Market participants will watch client onboarding figures and whether other brokers broaden their crypto menus. Ongoing regulatory scrutiny of digital assets in the United States remains a key factor.
