SoFi Launches Stablecoin Settlement via Mastercard Network
SoFi Technologies (SOFI) and Mastercard have launched stablecoin settlement across SoFi Bank's debit and credit card program, marking a significant step in integrating digital assets into traditional financial services. This development enables real-time transactions using stablecoins on the payments network of one of the world’s largest payment processors. The collaboration is expected to enhance efficiency by reducing reliance on legacy systems for cross-border or domestic transfers involving cryptocurrencies that are pegged to fiat currencies like USD. The move aligns with growing interest in blockchain-based financial tools among fintech companies and traditional banks alike.
