SoFi launches tokenized deposits with 4.4% interest, first for a consumer bank

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

SoFi has launched a new product called SoFi Earn, which offers tokenized deposits with a 4.4% interest rate and FDIC protection. This move positions SoFi as the first consumer bank to provide such a service, bridging traditional banking with blockchain technology.
