#SOFI Launches SoFiUSD Stablecoin to Modernize Financial Settlements
SoFi Technologies has launched #SoFiUSD , a fully reserved US dollar stablecoin issued by SoFi Bank, marking the first time a national bank has issued a stablecoin on a public, permissionless blockchain.
The #stablecoin is designed to provide modern settlement and payment infrastructure for banks, fintechs, and enterprise platforms, enabling near-instant transactions at minimal cost.
SoFiUSD is initially deployed on Ethereum and is fully backed 1:1 by cash reserves held at SoFi's Federal Reserve account. This structure aims to eliminate liquidity and credit risk while allowing yield to be shared with partners.
The launch allows partners to integrate the stablecoin into existing payment flows or issue their own white-label stablecoins using SoFi's bank-grade infrastructure. Use cases are expected to include card network settlements, international remittances, retailer payments, and crypto trading.
This initiative builds on SoFi's expansion into crypto services and reflects a broader industry trend of fintech and payment firms pursuing stablecoin solutions to modernize financial infrastructure.
