What happened
SoFi Technologies, Inc. launched SoFi Earn, a national bank-issued tokenized deposit for consumers. This product allows members to earn 4.40% APY on digital dollars, which are FDIC-insured up to applicable limits. Users can convert the deposit to SoFiUSD and use it to buy crypto directly in the SoFi app or move funds over blockchain rails 24/7.

Why it matters
