SoFi Technologies (NASDAQ:SOFI) shares rose 1.77% intraday after the company and Mastercard announced that stablecoin settlement is live across SoFi Bank's debit and credit card program. As part of the deployment, SoFi is migrating its entire $25 billion card program to settlement in SoFiUSD, described as the first stablecoin issued by a nationally chartered bank, with transactions executing on the blockchain.
### Tape / Session Read SoFi shares advanced 1.77% following the rollout of the bank-issued stablecoin platform across the Mastercard network. The initiative allows merchants to receive settlement funds instantly in a SoFi Bank account through the Big Business Banking platform and withdraw to cash around the clock at zero cost.
### Why This Lane Matters The integration of bank-issued stablecoins into major payment rails marks a notable step in tokenized banking and institutional liquidity flows. By tying blockchain settlement directly to traditional credit and debit card infrastructure, the initiative provides a test case for real-time merchant settlement without requiring businesses to hold digital assets themselves.
### Money Play If SoFi Technologies expands merchant adoption of SoFiUSD across its platform, watch $SOFI+WL as the primary vehicle for tracking blockchain settlement integration within consumer fintech. (Not financial advice; levels are for educational context only.)

tokenized banking and stablecoin payments
SoFi started using digital blockchain money to process its credit and debit card payments through Mastercard. People care because this is one of the first times a regular bank is using blockchain for billions of dollars in daily payments.
What changed
SoFi Bank's $25 billion card program went live with stablecoin settlement across Mastercard's network.
Who wins / who loses
Fintechs and card networks adopting blockchain win; traditional legacy payment processors relying on slow multi-day batch clearing risk losing ground.
