Charles Schwab expands crypto trading beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum
Schwab Crypto clients can now trade Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Avalanche and Chainlink. The three additions join Bitcoin and Ethereum, which were already available through the service.
The added trading pairs are Solana (SOL/USD), Avalanche (AVAX/USD) and Chainlink (LINK/USD). In its press release, Schwab described the expansion as part of its plan to offer established cryptocurrencies that match client demand.
“We continue to expand Schwab Crypto to give clients greater choice and flexibility in how they invest in digital assets alongside their broader investments,” said Joe Vietri, Head of Digital Assets at Charles Schwab.
Schwab also plans to expand the platform’s cryptocurrency and digital asset selection over time.
Availability across Schwab’s existing platforms
Clients can view and trade cryptocurrencies alongside traditional investments through Schwab.com, Schwab Mobile and thinkorswim®. The integration makes crypto trading available within Schwab’s existing web, mobile and trading platforms.
Schwab Crypto’s rollout began in May 2026, and access reached all eligible retail clients in October 2026. Not every client qualifies for an account.
Geographic limits also apply. Accounts are available throughout the United States except in New York and Louisiana, and the service does not extend to U.S. territories or international jurisdictions. Schwab’s disclosures say accounts can face restrictions or closure if clients move to an unsupported jurisdiction.
Trading fees, client support and account protections
Crypto trading at Charles Schwab costs 75 basis points on the dollar value of each trade, pricing that Schwab describes as among the industry’s lowest. Clients also have access to round-the-clock assistance by phone or chat.
