Charles Schwab Expands Crypto Trading Platform with Addition of Solana, Avalanche, and Chainlink
Financial services firm Charles Schwab is expanding its crypto trading platform to include Solana (SOL), Avalanche (AVAX), and Chainlink (LINK) in the coming months. This move follows the company's recent rollout of direct Bitcoin and Ethereum trading for select retail clients earlier this year, marking a significant step toward broader digital asset integration. Schwab aims to provide investors with more options within their trusted investing ecosystem while offering educational tools and support. The new cryptocurrencies will be available on Schwab’s website, mobile app, and thinkorswim platform at a 0.75% trading fee per transaction. This expansion aligns with the company's strategy of entering the crypto market once regulatory clarity improves. Solana is known for fast transactions and decentralized apps; Avalanche supports customizable blockchains for specific use cases; Chainlink provides real-world data to smart contracts.
