Here’s what’s confirmed — and what isn’t 🏦
On November 12, Polygon Labs (POL) announced that SoFiUSD, issued by SoFi Bank, N.A., is now available on the Open Money Stack alongside Ethereum and Solana.
✅ Confirmed
• More than 17 million SoFi members can buy, sell, hold, and convert the token in the app without a separate wallet or manual transfers between blockchains
• Redeemable for U.S. dollars at a 1:1 rate; the issuer is regulated by the OCC
• Available on the platform alongside $USDC, USDT, and PYUSD
⚠️ What the facts show
• No data is available on trading volume or circulating supply
• “Access” for 17 million members doesn’t mean they’ll use the coin
• This is a payment stablecoin, not a deposit: it is not insured by the FDIC or SIPC
• The 4.40% yield is tied to SoFi Earn, a tokenized deposit that converts into SoFiUSD
🧠 My take: being distributed through a bank is a real advantage, but the project is still at an early stage and hasn’t proven itself yet. Total stablecoin supply fell about 1.5% in the week ending November 9 (to around $295 billion), so growth will have to come from gaining market share, not from a rising overall market.
What matters most for a stablecoin: licensing or liquidity?
