Schwab Bolsters Crypto Platform with SOL, AVAX, and LINK Spot Trading

Charles Schwab, one of the largest U.S. brokerages, is expanding its crypto platform by adding spot trading for Solana (SOL), Avalanche (AVAX), and Chainlink (LINK) in the coming months.

This move signals a significant push into Layer-1 and oracle ecosystems, driven by client demand beyond Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH).

The addition will allow non-accredited retail investors to buy and manage major altcoins directly alongside their standard brokerage portfolios without leaving the traditional finance ecosystem.

The market capitalization of cryptocurrencies has surpassed $2.77 trillion, with a 24-hour spot volume of over $39.53 billion.
