What happened
SoFi confirmed that its stablecoin partnership with Mastercard is fully operational and handling real transactions. The company's debit and credit card program, which manages over $25 billion in annualized volume, has shifted to Mastercard's global payment network using its bank-issued stablecoin. This makes SoFi the first nationally chartered U.S. bank to go live with stablecoin settlement across the Mastercard network, utilizing a public, permissionless blockchain for routing.
