#嘉信理财拟新增SOLAVAXLINK交易
Traditional giant Charles Schwab brings SOL, AVAX, and LINK to the trading table— is this an endorsement of cryptocurrencies, or just a bid for a new revenue stream?
As a heavyweight managing over $13 trillion in assets and nearly 40 million accounts, after Schwab opened spot trading for $BTC and $ETH in May, it is now preparing to expand buy-and-sell access for these three tokens.
But from another angle, this looks like a defensive move.
Schwab charges a 0.75% fee per trade. Compared with E*TRADE’s 0.5% and Fidelity’s 1%, the pricing is pretty straightforward. They’re not chasing decentralized-belief for its own sake; they’re aiming to stop high-net-worth clients from routing funds—meant for allocating blockchain and oracle assets—to other platforms.
Even the token selection gives it away. They didn’t choose “air coins” driven purely by hype. Instead, they picked high-performance public chain SOL, enterprise-grade AVAX, and LINK as data infrastructure. This suggests that within traditional institutions’ compliance logic, what can be included in allocation frameworks must have real use cases and clear positioning.
What happens next?
▶️ Channel building is a long-term project
The news may push token prices higher in the short term, but the real “road building” is about gradually releasing liquidity— it won’t trigger a wild bull run overnight.
▶️ Brokers will accelerate the bandwagon
This move will pressure competitors to expand their token shelf space.
▶️ Institutional access will further squeeze the premium of traditional compliant exchanges, lowering the funding threshold.
The boundary between traditional finance and the crypto world is blurring faster. Which broker do you think will be next to open the doors?
