Each SoFi Earn (SOFIE) tokenized deposit represents $1 held on deposit at SoFi Bank and is FDIC-insured up to applicable FDIC limits, according to the release.

As of Tuesday (Oct. 20), the money held on deposit at SoFi Bank and represented by SOFIE was earning 4.40% annual percentage yield, although the APY is variable and subject to change at any time, the release said.

When members are ready to use the funds, they can convert SOFIE 1:1 to SoFiUSD stablecoins and then use the SoFiUSD to buy cryptocurrency in the SoFi digital financial services app or send the money over blockchain rails to a supported external wallet at any time, per the release.

SoFi is rolling out SoFi Earn to SoFi Crypto members through November, according to the release.

SoFi CEO Anthony Noto said in the release that SoFi Earn enables people to keep their money working for them rather than sitting idle.

“SoFi Earn combines the earning power and protections of a bank deposit with the speed and utility of digital assets, giving people more value, flexibility and control over their money,” Noto said.
