# SoFi Bank Breaks Ground As First FDIC-Insured National Bank to Launch Direct Crypto Trading Services

SoFi Bank just launched crypto trading services, becoming the first and only nationally chartered and FDIC-insured bank to bring crypto directly to consumers.

The new SoFi Crypto platform lets members buy, sell, and hold dozens of cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana.

The services are all offered within the same app customers already use for for banking, borrowing and investing.

The phased rollout begins today, November 11, 2025, with wider access in coming weeks.

Users can fund purchases instantly from their FDIC-insured SoFi Money accounts without transfers.

The app also provides in-app education and step-by-step guidance for beginners and experts.

SoFi cites growing crypto ownership doubling in 2025 and member preference for bank-based trading over exchanges.
