Schwab announced that it will add three new cryptocurrency transactions
Financial services giant Charles Schwab said on Thursday that it plans to add Solana, Avalanche and Chainlink to its cryptocurrency trading platform in the coming months, further expanding its business beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum. The company did not announce a specific launch date.
The move comes about three months after Schwab started providing direct transaction services for bitcoin and Ethereum to some retail customers. Prior to this, customers could only have indirect access to cryptocurrencies through exchange-traded products and shares of companies such as Coinbase and Strategy, but could not directly purchase digital assets.
Joe Vietelli, head of digital assets at Schwab, said in a statement: "Through this expansion, customers will have more options to allocate digital assets while still enjoying Schwab's trustworthy investment and banking services experience. These new varieties are in line with our consistent approach of providing customers with the cryptocurrencies they are familiar with, supplemented by education, tools, resources and support systems to help them make informed decisions and understand how cryptocurrencies can be integrated into broader investment goals."
Solana is designed for fast, low-cost transactions and supports applications in areas such as transactions, payments and games. Avalanche allows companies and developers to create customized blockchains for specific application scenarios. Chainlink is responsible for connecting blockchain with external information and providing data such as asset prices for smart contracts.
Schwab said customers will be able to buy and sell these cryptocurrencies through its official website, mobile apps and thinkorswim trading platform. There will be a fee of 75 basis points per transaction-or 0.75%, such as $7.50 for a $1000 transaction-which Schwab calls one of the lowest in the industry.
In 2024, the company said it would enter the market once U.S. regulatory policies provided a clearer path. The company confirmed plans to start with Bitcoin and Ethereum in April 2026 and open it to customers in phases in May of the same year.
The company is also considering other digital asset products. CEO Rick Voster said in 2025 that Schwab hopes to explore the launch of a stablecoin pegged to the US dollar, but no specific plans have yet been announced.
