Schwarz adds Solana, Avalanche and Chainlink to US crypto trading

Charles Schwab has broadened the list of cryptocurrencies available through Schwab Crypto, adding Solana, Avalanche and Chainlink for eligible US retail investors. Crypto.news reports that clients can now buy and sell five digital assets directly through the brokerage’s crypto service, confirming that the three additions form part of a wider supported lineup. The move extends an established brokerage’s retail crypto offering to additional high-profile networks and tokens. U.Today also identifies the same three additions, while The Cryptonomist describes the expansion as providing more assets and integrated platforms for eligible clients. None of the three outlets gives a different figure for the assets added, and there is no reported difference in the platforms or customer eligibility involved. Crypto.news supplies the most specific description of access, identifying US retail investors as eligible to trade directly through Schwab Crypto. The outlets differ mainly in emphasis rather than substance. U.Today points out that XRP is still conspicuously absent from the lineup, even as Charles Schwab expands its crypto activity. The Cryptonomist highlights the broader range of assets and integrated customer experience without naming any excluded token. Crypto.news focuses on the mechanics of the offering and says the service now covers five tradable digital assets. The additions broaden exposure to ecosystems represented by the three tokens. Solana and Avalanche are network assets, while Chainlink is an oracle-network token, although the supplied coverage does not describe the specific functions accessible through Schwab Crypto. Avalanche’s on-chain ecosystem registers $135.15 million in total value locked, according to DeFiLlama, a figure down 1.7% over seven days. Live market data show a broadly weaker backdrop. Solana trades at $86.58, down 3.09% over 24 hours and 6.09% over seven days, with a $51.18 billion market capitalization. Chainlink is at $10.66, down 0.33% over 24 hours and 4.21% over seven days, with an $8.17 billion market cap. XRP, which U.Today notes remains unavailable on Schwab Crypto, trades at $1.092 and has fallen 5.48% over 24 hours and 12.17% over seven days. The total crypto market capitalization stands at $2.56 trillion, Bitcoin is down 1.56% over 24 hours, and the Fear and Greed Index is 29, placing sentiment in the Fear category. Whether Schwab expands or retains its current token lineup, including the availability of XRP, is the next clear point for retail-access developments to watch.
