BitGo Bank & Trust, N.A. ("BitGo Bank & Trust") is proud to announce that it has been named as a primary infrastructure provider and distribution partner for SoFiUSD, the first U.S. dollar stablecoin issued by a nationally chartered and insured deposit bank on a permissionless, public blockchain.

Issued by SoFi Bank, N.A. and powered by BitGo's Stablecoin-as-a-Service platform, SoFiUSD represents a landmark moment, as one of the most recognized banks in the US enables adoption of its own stablecoin.

Banks as the gateway to stablecoin adoption

The entry of institutions like SoFi into the digital asset ecosystem marks a fundamental shift in market maturity. This shift unlocks a new tier of adoption from large traditional institutions that previously remained on the sidelines due to regulatory uncertainty and technological complexity. With the GENIUS Act passed into law and the underlying infrastructure now functionally ready, SoFiUSD serves as connective tissue for enterprises looking to modernize their global treasury operations.

"We're thrilled to expand institutional access to SoFiUSD through BitGo." said Simon Griffin, Business Lead for Crypto Distribution at SoFi. "This isn't just a new token; it's a critical piece of infrastructure that unlocks the next phase of digital finance for thousands of institutions through our partnership."

The integration of stablecoins like SoFiUSD unlocks access for payment providers, market makers, and exchanges as well as the integration into real world use cases like international remittances, B2B payment and settlement, and 24/7 liquidity for institutional capital.
