bitcoinethereumnews.com reports that Charles Schwab plans to add Solana, Avalanche, and Chainlink to its Schwab Crypto platform. This expansion brings the direct-trading menu to five tokens, following the service's initial rollout in May. The new assets will be available through Schwab Premier Bank, where clients maintain a separate crypto account linked to their brokerage account.
Paxos provides sub-custody and trade execution for these transactions. Trades are priced at 75 basis points, or 0.75%, of the dollar value of each transaction. The accounts are available in every U.S. state except New York and Louisiana.
Schwab gave no specific launch date for these additions and noted that support could change due to market or regulatory developments. A separate advisor-channel service is targeted for mid-2027, when Schwab aims to bring spot crypto trading to registered investment advisers.
How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for BTC, measured when this story was written up on 27 August 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
Bitcoin is trading at $79,023.75 with a 24-hour buy ratio of 49.9%, indicating near-even distribution between buyers and sellers. Short-term pressure shows weakness, with the 1-hour buy ratio at 40.3% and the 4-hour ratio at 43.7%, both below the daily average. Volume delta reflects this imbalance, showing a net outflow of $4,334,544 in the last hour and $31,690,156 over four hours. The cumulative volume delta for the day is -$125,634,296, confirming that sellers have dominated the flow. Net buying occurred for only 4 of the last 24 hours, suggesting fading buying pressure in the immediate term.
The latest daily buy ratio of 46.7% sits at the 18th percentile of the last 322 days, against a median of 49.2% - weaker buying than most days.
Twenty-four hours later
What BTC 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 BTC, averaged over the days leading up to the story.
Over the preceding week, the average buy ratio was 51.6%, making today's 49.9% reading slightly below the weekly norm by 1.7 points. Weekly volume was 0.54x the average, indicating significantly lower activity compared to the prior six days. The coin saw net buying on 6 of the last 7 days, with a total volume delta of +$445,688,281 over eight days. Price increased by 14.0% over the eight-day period, contrasting with the current day's negative delta. This represents a shift from the consistent accumulation seen earlier in the week to a more balanced, slightly bearish flow today.
