Charles Schwab Opens SOL, AVAX and LINK Trading to US Clients

Charles Schwab opened trading in Solana (SOL), Avalanche (AVAX) and Chainlink (LINK) to eligible clients of its Schwab Crypto service on Nov. 9, 2026. Together with bitcoin and ether, the lineup now stands at five coins. Trades are priced against the US dollar, with a fee of 0.75% of each trade's value.

Details

According to Schwab's announcement, early access began in May 2026 and the service reached all eligible retail clients in October. Clients can trade on Schwab's website, its mobile app and the thinkorswim platform, with crypto shown next to traditional holdings. The service is unavailable in New York and Louisiana, in US territories and outside the US. The assets are not FDIC-insured or SIPC-protected.

Schwab first said on Aug. 27 that it would add the three coins, without a date. Joe Vietri, head of digital assets, said the firm keeps expanding Schwab Crypto to give clients more choice. The broker also says it may add more coins over time, while reserving the right to change or withdraw support for an asset. Bitcoin.com and Crypto.news also covered the launch.

What it means for the market

For SOL, AVAX and LINK, this is another channel through which ordinary US investors can buy the coins directly without opening an account at a crypto exchange. How much demand it brings is unclear: Schwab does not disclose client numbers or trading volumes for the new pairs.

Live prices are on the Solana, Chainlink and Avalanche pages, and the broader picture is in the daily brief.
