SoFi, short for Social Finance, is a financial technology company based in the United States that operates as a direct bank with a national charter.<\/p>\n<p>In December, SoFi launched a stablecoin called SoFiUSD, becoming the first national bank in the US to issue a stablecoin on a public blockchain. Back then, the token was only available for internal settlement activity and institutions\/developers, with the firm noting that broader availability would arrive in the coming months. That launch finally appears to be here.<\/p>\n<p>SoFi members can now buy, sell, and hold SoFiUSD directly within the app. \u201cThis marks the first time that a U.S. national bank-issued stablecoin is available directly on a banking app,\u201d said the announcement.<\/p>\n<p>Stablecoins are cryptocurrencies that have their value pegged to a fiat currency. As SoFiUSD\u2019s name suggests, it\u2019s a token backed by the US Dollar, which is the most in-demand currency for these digital assets. Currently, the cryptocurrency is available on Ethereum and Solana, two of the most-used networks for transactions.<\/p>\n<p>Anthony Noto, SoFi CEO, said:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>People no longer have to choose between blockchain technology and regulated banking products. With SoFiUSD, we\u2019re 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.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>SoFiUSD isn\u2019t SoFi Technologies\u2019 first foray into the digital-asset sector. As <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/sofi-becomes-first-national-bank-to-let-americans-trade-crypto\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \">reported<\/a> by Bitcoinist, the bank became the first of its kind to offer cryptocurrency trading to US customers back in November.bToday\u2019s launch isn\u2019t the end of SoFi\u2019s digital-asset journey, either, as the announcement revealed that it\u2019s only the first phase of a broader roadmap to integrate stablecoin utility across the bank\u2019s ecosystem.<\/p>\n<p>In the next few weeks, the FinTech platform is planning to allow members to convert SoFiUSD to tokenized deposits, offer 24\/7 global mobility via the blockchain, and release its stablecoin on its first centralized exchange partner, Bullish.<\/p>\n<p>The press release also noted that networks beyond Ethereum and Solana are planned for the stablecoin, although it\u2019s not yet known which blockchains will be supported or when a rollout will occur.<\/p>\n<h2>Ethereum Has Declined Under The $2,000 Level<\/h2>\n<p>The cryptocurrency market has suffered a bearish blow during the past day, and Ethereum, the second-largest token by<a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/bitcoin-unrealized-loss-15-of-cap-ftx-capitulation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \"> market cap<\/a>, has been among the worst performers out of the top coins.<\/p>\n<p>After a drop of more than 4% during the last 24 hours, ETH has slipped below $2,000 for the first time since late March.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tradingview.com\/x\/RETobmMu\/\" alt=\"Ethereum Price Chart\" width=\"1486\" height=\"957\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Ethereum and Solana-based SoFiUSD has become the first national bank-issued stablecoin to launch on an official banking platform.
