Bank customers can now move their funds across blockchain networks 24 hours a day using a new digital asset called SOFIE. This product, also known as SoFi Earn, pays 4.40% interest and maintains eligibility for FDIC insurance, enabling users to convert balances into SoFiUSD to purchase cryptocurrency.
The offering is the first tokenized deposit for consumers issued by a US national bank. SoFi is leveraging its bank charter to attract on-chain deposits, which the company plans to use to fund its core lending business.
