SoFiUSD Becomes the First Stablecoin Issued by a US National Bank to Launch on a Banking Platform

Key Terms

stablecoin financial

A stablecoin is a type of digital currency designed to keep its value steady, often by being backed by traditional assets like money or commodities. For investors, stablecoins offer a reliable way to move money quickly across digital platforms without the value fluctuations common with other cryptocurrencies, making them useful for saving, trading, or transferring funds with less risk of sudden losses.

public blockchain technical

A public blockchain is a shared, digital ledger that records transactions across many independent computers so anyone can read and verify the history without a single company controlling it. For investors it matters because openness and wide participation affect security, transparency, and how valuable the network’s tokens or services can become — think of it as a shared Google spreadsheet everyone can see and confirm, not edited by one person.

tokenized deposits financial

Digital tokens that represent traditional bank deposits held at a regulated institution, recorded on a blockchain-like system so each token is a claim on the underlying cash. They matter to investors because they can speed up transfers, enable new trading and lending services, and increase transparency much like converting paper money into an instantly transferable digital voucher, while still carrying banking and regulatory risks tied to the issuer.

fdic insurance regulatory

FDIC insurance is a government-backed protection that guarantees bank deposit accounts up to a set dollar limit, so savers get their money back if a covered bank fails. It matters to investors because it lowers the risk of holding cash at insured banks, supports confidence in the banking system (like a safety net under a tightrope), and influences decisions about where to park short-term funds or assess the stability of financial institutions.

centralized exchange financial

A centralized exchange is a market platform run by a single company that matches buyers and sellers, holds users’ funds, and records trades—much like a mall operator who manages stores, handles payments and keeps the receipts. For investors it matters because this setup can offer faster trade matching, deeper liquidity and customer protections, but also creates reliance on the operator for security, custody and regulatory compliance, affecting risk, fees and access to funds.

liquid assets financial

Assets that can be turned into cash quickly and without losing much value, such as cash on hand, bank deposits, and commonly traded stocks or bonds. For investors, liquidity matters because it shows how easily a company or portfolio can meet short-term bills, handle unexpected needs, or seize opportunities — like having money in your wallet versus owning something hard to sell, such as real estate or specialized equipment.

certified public accountant regulatory

A certified public accountant (CPA) is a licensed accounting professional who has passed rigorous exams and met education and experience requirements to prepare, review, and officially certify financial statements and tax filings. For investors, a CPA's involvement is like a neutral referee confirming that a company's reported numbers are accurate and follow accounting rules, which improves trust in financial reports and lowers the risk of unexpected errors or misleading information.

multi-chain technical

Multi-chain describes a product, platform, or network that operates across more than one blockchain, allowing assets, data, or transactions to move between different ledger systems. For investors, it matters because multi-chain solutions can reach more users and reduce dependence on a single network, much like a business that sells in multiple countries rather than relying on one market—potentially spreading risk and creating more growth opportunities.

SoFi, the first national bank to offer a stablecoin on a public blockchain, now allows its nearly 15 million members to buy, sell, and hold SoFiUSD, a bank-grade, 1:1 redeemable U.S. dollar stablecoin.

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- SoFi Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: SOFI), a member-centric, everything app for digital financial services, announced today that SoFiUSD, a bank-issued U.S. dollar stablecoin, is available for SoFi members to buy, sell, hold, and convert directly within the SoFi app.

This marks the first time that a U.S. national bank-issued stablecoin is available directly on a banking app. By expanding SoFiUSD to its nearly 15 million members, SoFi is building the bridge between traditional banking and digital assets. By integrating blockchain technology within its banking ecosystem, SoFi is helping to make digital financial tools more accessible, practical, and trustworthy.

“At SoFi, we believe we can combine the speed and versatility of the blockchain with the trust of a bank to improve how money moves around the world,” said Anthony Noto, CEO of SoFi. “People no longer have to choose between blockchain technology and regulated banking products. With SoFiUSD, we’re giving our members a single place to buy, hold, and pay with digital assets in the same app they already use to save, spend, borrow, and invest.”

A New Standard for Trust in Digital Assets

SoFiUSD is the first stablecoin issued by a U.S. national bank and offers:

• 1:1 Redemption: SoFiUSD is redeemable 1:1 for U.S. dollars from SoFi Bank. SoFi Bank maintains liquid assets to support all outstanding SoFiUSD.
• Bank-Grade Safeguards: Members benefit from the transparency of a regulated institution, including regular attestations that are performed by an independent Certified Public Accountant (CPA) licensed in the United States.
• Multi-Chain Flexibility: SoFiUSD is available on Ethereum and Solana – two of the largest networks for digital asset transactions – with additional networks being added.

Today’s launch is the first phase of a broader roadmap to integrate stablecoin utility across the entire SoFi ecosystem. In the coming weeks, SoFi plans to rapidly add to their product offering by:

• Building the ability for SoFi members to convert SoFiUSD into tokenized deposits, allowing members to earn interest and access FDIC insurance on the deposits. Separate deposit account terms will apply.
• Offering global mobility on the blockchain, by allowing SoFi members to move value across borders 24/7/365, with fewer delays and lower costs than typical legacy financial systems.
• Launching SoFiUSD on its first centralized exchange partner, Bullish, to provide seamless trading for institutional clients. This relationship further supports stable pricing and efficient execution for high-volume trades.

SoFiUSD is built to help bridge the gap between the flexibility of a stablecoin and the stability of a bank. It is supported by deep institutional liquidity and efficient execution, helping promote stable pricing and reliable high-volume trading for all members. Members can access SoFiUSD starting today, with full availability expected by early June as users update to the latest version of the SoFi app. Learn more about SoFiUSD here.
