The national bank SoFi in the United States has launched the dollar stablecoin SoFiUSD, which is now live on Ethereum

According to The Block, SoFi Bank has launched the dollar stablecoin SoFiUSD (1:1 cash reserve), claiming to be the first national bank in the U.S. to issue a stablecoin on a public blockchain.

SoFiUSD is now live on Ethereum, providing near-instant, low-cost settlement 24/7 for banks, fintechs, and corporate partners, with plans to open it up to SoFi users. SoFi stated that cash reserves can be held in Federal Reserve accounts, shared profits, and support partner white-label issuance or direct access to settlement and payment processes. This stablecoin will also be used for card networks, retail settlements, SoFi Pay cross-border remittances, and POS payments. This year, several institutions are advancing stablecoins, including KlarnaUSD, Western Union's USDPT, and Stripe's USDB.
