Chainlink at Schwab: 0.75 percent fee, US customers only

Since Monday, November 9, customers of US broker Charles Schwab have been able to buy and sell Chainlink. Schwab added LINK to its Schwab Crypto offering together with Solana and Avalanche and charges 0.75 percent of the order value. For investors in Germany the route to the token stays the same: Schwab Crypto is only open to customers resident in the US, and here a MiCA-licensed exchange remains the direct way to LINK.

Chainlink trades at $10.61 on Tuesday morning, or €9.44, according to CoinGecko. That is 2.3 percent more than 24 hours earlier, but 3.7 percent less than a week ago and 17.6 percent less than 30 days ago. The daily low was $10.39, the daily high $10.81. The Schwab listing did not visibly move the price on Monday. What it does change is who in the US can reach LINK through an ordinary brokerage account.
