Charles Schwab announced on August 27 that it plans to add Solana, Avalanche, and Chainlink to its Crypto accounts in the coming months. This expansion extends the broker’s direct cryptocurrency-trading lineup beyond the initial offerings of Bitcoin and Ethereum. Clients will eventually be able to trade the tokens known as SOL, AVAX, and LINK through the same crypto account.
The company stated that these three assets reflect an effort to expand its digital-asset offering with established cryptocurrencies aligned with client demand. Schwab did not provide a specific launch date for these new additions. The additions are planned and are not currently live.
Schwab Crypto charges 75 basis points on the dollar value of each trade. Bitcoin and Ethereum access began rolling out to Schwab Crypto clients in May 2026. The announcement was reported by bitcoinethereumnews.com. The move signals a broadening of the service beyond its initial two cryptocurrencies.
How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for LINK, measured when this story was written up on 28 August 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
Chainlink (LINK) is currently trading at $11.92 on Binance spot markets. The 1-hour buy ratio stands at 38.4%, which is lower than the 51.0% buy ratio recorded over the 4-hour period. This suggests that short-term buying pressure is fading relative to the slightly longer timeframe. The 24-hour buy ratio is 52.7%, indicating that buying has been the dominant force over the full day. Volume delta shows a net outflow of -$135,496 in the last hour, contrasting with a net inflow of +$73,155 over the past four hours. The 24-hour volume delta is +$1,830,061, showing strong cumulative buying pressure over the day. A positive volume delta indicates that buy volume exceeds sell volume, while a negative delta indicates the opposite.
The latest daily buy ratio of 49.4% sits at the 56th percentile of the last 322 days, against a median of 48.8% - ordinary for this coin.
Twenty-four hours later
What LINK 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 LINK, averaged over the days leading up to the story.
Over the preceding week, the average buy ratio for LINK was 49.3%. The latest day saw a buy ratio of 52.7%, which is 3.4 percentage points higher than the weekly average. This indicates that today is an unusually strong day for buying pressure compared to the recent norm. However, spot volume was only 0.66 times the weekly average, suggesting lower participation. The price changed by +11.5% over the eight-day period, with a total volume delta of +$1,604,958. This context shows that while buying intensity is higher today, the overall volume is lower than usual.
