Charles Schwab is adding three more digital assets to its brokerage platform, the latest sign that TradFi firms see crypto allocations as a standard portfolio sleeve rather than a side bet.
The $13 trillion asset manager said Thursday that solana (SOL), avalanche (AVAX) and chainlink (LINK) will be available through Schwab Crypto accounts in the coming months. The firm launched the offering in May 2026 with bitcoin and ether.
Joe Vietri, Schwab's head of digital assets, said the expansion gives clients more ways to build a digital-asset allocation. "With this expansion, clients will have more choices to build a digital asset allocation alongside the investing and banking experience they know and trust at Schwab," Vietri said.
Schwab retains the right to delay, modify or withdraw support for any of the assets, the firm said in the release.
The move comes as the crypto market has rallied to a combined $2.7 trillion. SOL led the pack Thursday with a 12.4% gain. LINK rose 6.8%, and AVAX jumped 4.6%. Bitcoin, by comparison, was up about 7% over the prior seven days.
Institutional crypto participation started with spot bitcoin and ether ETFs, then expanded after 2025 generic listing standards brought spot funds for SOL, XRP, litecoin and dogecoin. Brokerages are now following the same path.
Schwab's crypto market analysis page tracks the broader sector. The firm's own stock page shows an Alpha Score of 60, labeled Moderate, in the Financials sector.
Vietri said the additions are "consistent with our approach to provide clients with access to familiar cryptocurrencies backed by an ecosystem of education, tools, resources, and support to make informed decisions about how crypto might fit into their broader investing goals."
Schwab said other digital assets may be announced in the future. No timeline was given beyond the coming months for SOL, AVAX and LINK availability.
