Charles Schwab Adds Solana, Avalanche and Chainlink to Crypto Trading Platform

Charles Schwab has added Solana, Avalanche and Chainlink to its crypto trading platform, according to a report originally published by CryptoRank. The additions expand the range of digital assets available through the brokerage’s crypto offering beyond the largest, most established cryptocurrencies.

Solana and Avalanche are blockchain networks designed to support decentralized applications, token issuance and other on-chain activity. Chainlink is a blockchain infrastructure project best known for its oracle network, which helps smart contracts use data from outside their native blockchain environments.

The move is notable because Charles Schwab is a major U.S. financial-services company with a broad retail investing customer base. Adding access to additional crypto assets can give investors more exposure to different parts of the digital-asset market, including smart-contract platforms and blockchain infrastructure.

Crypto trading remains subject to market volatility and evolving regulatory expectations. The availability of an asset on a trading platform does not change the risks associated with digital assets or guarantee their performance.
