SOFI stock is moving higher by 2.5% in early trading as a new partnership with Payward, the parent company of Kraken, expands the fintech firm’s digital asset offerings. The deal allows Kraken to list SoFiUSD, a bank-backed stablecoin, and gives SoFi access to Kraken Prime for executing trades. Analysts and market data suggest the agreement is viewed as a positive development for SoFi’s growing crypto presence.
What Happened
SoFi Technologies announced a strategic partnership with Payward to integrate its banking and digital asset networks with Kraken’s platform. Under the agreement, Kraken will list SoFiUSD and connect to SoFi’s 24/7 dollar settlement network, while Kraken Prime will serve as a trading execution venue for SoFi’s crypto clients.

The deal has drawn attention from analysts, with Keefe Bruyette & Woods describing it as a positive development for SoFi’s digital asset strategy.
