Aug 27, 2026By ClusterWire.news· AI-assisted news brief

Charles Schwab said it plans to add direct trading for Solana (SOL), Avalanche (AVAX) and Chainlink (LINK) to its crypto platform for U.S. retail clients in the coming months, extending trading beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum [1] [2].

Crypto Briefing likewise reported that Schwab’s crypto expansion would broaden its digital-asset lineup beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum, and noted the report as mainstreaming altcoin access [3].

CoinGape reported that Schwab’s plans were outlined in an official announcement dated August 27 and framed the change as adding SOL/AVAX/LINK trading to Schwab’s crypto offerings for clients in the coming months [2].

TheCoinrise reported that the brokerage has historically kept its direct crypto exposure limited and that clients previously could trade Bitcoin- and Ethereum-linked products through the platform, but broader altcoin access had not been available [4].
