Charles Schwab to Add Solana, Avalanche and Chainlink Spot Trading

According to BlockchainReporter, United States brokerage Charles Schwab announced plans on August 27, 2026, to add Solana, Avalanche, and Chainlink to its Schwab Crypto platform. The company detailed that the three assets will be rolled out over the coming months. Currently, Schwab Crypto supports direct spot trading for Bitcoin and Ethereum, which were available at the platform's launch in May 2026. The service is serviced by the company's bank subsidiary, keeping custody and execution within its regulated infrastructure. While the firm framed the additions as a phased rollout, exact listing dates have not been published. Schwab has not specified whether the tokens will go live simultaneously or in stages, nor did it detail custody arrangements or whether additional assets will follow. These forward-looking plans remain subject to regulatory and operational steps before the tokens can be traded. Additionally, BlockchainReporter noted that Solana has experienced network-level changes through proposals SIMD-550 and SIMD-553 aimed at trimming SOL issuance. The practical impact depends on liquidity and demand after the tokens are listed.
