Schwab Crypto to Add SOL, AVAX and LINK to Bitcoin-and-Ether Lineup

This expansion is notable less for the specific tokens and more for what it signals about the distribution channel. Moving beyond the two largest assets into mid-cap altcoins suggests that the demand profile for regulated, mainstream crypto access is broadening, and that platforms see the advisor channel as a key growth vector. The extended timeline to mid-2027 implies a deliberate, compliance-heavy rollout rather than a race to market. The real question is whether this pace and selection become a template for other traditional brokerages, or whether Schwab's early mover status forces competitors to accelerate their own offerings.
