Users can buy, sell, hold, and transfer SOL from external wallets inside a federally chartered bank platform.
The move links traditional banking products with on-chain activity under SoFi’s national bank charter.
Integration expands SoFi’s crypto services, offering regulated blockchain access uncommon among U.S. banks.
U.S. national chartered bank SoFi now allows its 13.7 million customers to deposit Solana (SOL) directly into their crypto accounts. According to NS3.AI, the integration enables users to manage SOL alongside traditional banking products within a regulated framework. The update was announced publicly on X.
SoFi users can now buy, sell, hold, and deposit SOL from external wallets directly into their accounts. The platform integrates blockchain activity with checking, savings, and other financial products. Notably, this setup allows balances to remain in a single interface, combining traditional and digital banking features.
The initiative also expands SoFi’s crypto offerings beyond typical brokerage exposure. According to NS3.AI, connecting a national bank charter with a live blockchain network remains uncommon in the U.S., providing users regulated on-chain access. This marks a rare combination of public blockchain integration inside a federally chartered financial institution.
Founded in 2011 as a student loan refinancing company, SoFi later secured a national bank charter. The bank now manages over $50 billion in assets and tens of billions in deposits. Its customer base has grown significantly, reaching 13.7 million account holders, who can now interact with Solana without leaving the banking app.
SoFi’s brand extends beyond finance. It holds naming rights to SoFi Stadium, which hosted Super Bowl LVI and WrestleMania 39. The venue is scheduled to host multiple 2026 FIFA World Cup matches and will play a central role in the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. Integrating SOL deposits complements this high-profile national presence.
The addition of Solana deposits allows regulated bank customers to conduct on-chain transfers while staying within a federally chartered environment. According to NS3.AI, this combination offers unprecedented access for U.S. users seeking regulated crypto operations. Customers can now seamlessly manage digital assets alongside traditional banking, marking a significant step in mainstream blockchain adoption.
