Schwab Adds Solana, Avalanche, and Chainlink to Crypto Platform
Avalanche (AVAX)

tokentopnews.com reports that Charles Schwab is preparing to add Solana, Avalanche, and Chainlink to its crypto trading platform. This move extends the brokerage giant’s digital-asset lineup toward a trio of established altcoins. The plan was outlined in a Charles Schwab press release as an expansion of an existing offering rather than a standalone launch.
The three tokens gained ground as the plan circulated, with Solana, Avalanche, and Chainlink seeing gains. For a brokerage whose clients reach crypto through a familiar, regulated equities interface, the significance is access. Each selected asset carries a distinct identity, with Solana associated with high-throughput smart contract activity.
Avalanche is known for its smart contract ecosystem and subnet architecture, while Chainlink is recognized as blockchain oracle infrastructure. This mix gives Schwab clients diversified altcoin exposure spanning execution layers and infrastructure. The listing plan widens who can buy SOL, AVAX, and LINK through Schwab. It does not, on its own, determine where those assets trade next.

CVD at the 24-hour close is -$3,491,550, suggesting that despite positive volume delta, cumulative selling pressure has been higher than buying pressure over the full day. Spot volume for 24 hours is $14,702,099 across 135,533 trades.

Twenty-four hours later
What AVAX did over the 24 hours after the story broke. The market moves for its own reasons; this is what happened, not what the story caused.
Was that an ordinary day?
The same Binance spot measurements for AVAX, averaged over the days leading up to the story.
Over the preceding week, the 7-day average buy ratio was 49.5%, with the latest day showing a +3.0 points increase versus that average. Volume was 0.55x the average, indicating lower-than-normal trading activity. The price change over 8 days was +3.2%, with a total volume delta of +$1,014,144. This represents an ordinary day for the coin, with buying ratios slightly above average but volume significantly below the weekly norm. The 24-hour buy ratio of 52.5% is higher than the 7-day average of 49.5%, suggesting a temporary uptick in buying interest relative to the recent weekly trend.
