Mastercard Adds SoFiUSD to 24/7 Stablecoin Settlement Window
SOFI•Mastercard is extending its onchain settlement window to include nights, weekends and holidays with regulated stablecoins integrated alongside fiat processes. SoFiUSD is among the supported stablecoins, positioning SoFi’s token for increased institutional use in cross-border payments, treasury operations and payouts.
1. Mastercard Extends Settlement Hours
Mastercard has widened its global settlement capabilities to offer intraday, weekend and holiday onchain settlement alongside existing fiat rails. This initiative aims to provide issuers and acquirers greater flexibility in managing timing, liquidity and transparency for card transaction settlements.
2. SoFiUSD Added to Mastercard Network
Among the regulated stablecoins supported under this expansion is SoFiUSD, joining tokens such as USDC, PYUSD, USDG, USDP and RLUSD. Inclusion in Mastercard’s network integrates SoFiUSD directly into established banking and payment infrastructures without replacing fiat processes.
3. Implications for SoFi
The expanded settlement window and institutional support could drive higher transaction volumes and broader adoption of SoFiUSD in cross-border payments and treasury operations. This development may open new revenue opportunities for SoFi as stablecoin settlement gains traction within enterprise payment flows.
