SoFiは、米ドルと連動するステーブルコイン「SoFiUSD」を、同社の銀行アプリを通じて約1,500万人の会員向けに提供開始した。このトークンはEthereumとSolanaのネットワークで利用可能であり、SoFi銀行を通じて米ドルと1対1で交換できる。
同フィンテック企業によると、この取り組みにより、米国の全国銀行として初めて、パブリックブロックチェーン上のステーブルコインを個人顧客に直接提供することになる。会員はSoFiアプリ内でトークンの売買、保有、変換が可能だ。SoFiUSDは、暗号資産取引や分散型金融（DeFi）ではなく、国境を越えた送金やB2B取引といった伝統的な金融アプリケーションをターゲットとしている。
