## Timeline
|

|
- **2026-04-02** — Launched enterprise banking services leveraging Solana for fiat and stablecoin transactions, positioning as "one regulated platform to move and manage fiat and crypto in real time"
|
|
|
|
## Significance
|
|
|

SoFi's adoption of Solana represents a category shift: a regulated bank with FDIC-insured deposits choosing crypto infrastructure for enterprise settlement, rather than crypto-native institutions building banking-like services. This signals institutional infrastructure migration at the settlement layer. |
