### Tape / Session Read SoFi Technologies (NASDAQ:SOFI) shares climbed about 1% on Tuesday, September 22, 2026, following the announcement that its bank has begun using stablecoins to settle transactions across the Mastercard (NYSE:MA) network. Mastercard shares were up about 0.4% in premarket trading. The rollout makes SoFi Bank's entire $25 billion card portfolio eligible for settlement through SoFiUSD.
### Why This Lane Matters The integration allows participating merchants to receive settlement funds in a SoFi Bank account and convert them to cash without maintaining separate stablecoin balances or building independent ledger systems. This setup highlights institutional exploration of blockchain rails for everyday card settlement and network scalability.
### Money Play - If SoFi Technologies continues expanding its stablecoin settlement options with large U.S. merchants, watch $SOFI+WL for transaction volume growth and fintech adoption catalysts. - If Mastercard scales blockchain settlement rails across broader card programs, watch $MA+WL for network volume impacts.
