Clients of Charles Schwab, a firm that manages more than $13 trillion in client assets, can now trade three new tokens: Solana, Avalanche and Chainlink. The change went live on November 9 and lifts the platform's list to five assets. Before it, the platform already offered Bitcoin and Ethereum.

The company calls the move spot trading, which means buying and selling the coins themselves rather than a contract that tracks their price. In its latest announcement, Schwab said only eligible customers can use the new options.

For retail clients, meaning everyday people who trade their own money, the change adds choice. Crypto prices can move sharply, so the new options carry real risk for anyone who uses them.
