What does SoFiUSD actually do?

It's SoFi's proprietary stablecoin that sits on blockchain rails, enabling instant settlement 24/7 without waiting for traditional banking hours. SoFi converts your dollars to SoFiUSD, settles the transaction, then converts it back—all within seconds and while keeping deposits on their balance sheet.

Is SoFi's enterprise banking service available now?

Yes, SoFi Big Business Banking is live. Initial customers include cryptocurrency firms like BitGo, Fireblocks, and Galaxy Digital, plus payments companies like Mastercard. Availability for other business types is expanding.

Will traditional banks copy this model?

Absolutely. JPMorgan, Bank of America, and others are already testing stablecoin settlement and tokenized deposits. The real question isn't whether this becomes standard—it will. It's whether SoFi can profitably scale before larger banks offer the same service with better brand trust and cheaper capital.
