SoFi launches SoFiUSD stablecoin settlement on Mastercard network
The notable part is not another stablecoin but where it sits: a bank-issued token settling on an established card network, which pushes stablecoins from trading venues toward everyday payment plumbing. That matters most for card networks, banks weighing similar moves, and the settlement layers they currently rely on. Whether other bank issuers follow into live card-rail settlement, and how regulators treat that overlap, is the open question worth watching.
