SoFi Bank Enables Stablecoin Settlement Across $25 Billion Card Portfolio
SoFi Technologies said its bank has begun using stablecoins to settle transactions across its Mastercard card network, making SoFi Bank's entire $25 billion card portfolio eligible for settlement through SoFiUSD, the company's stablecoin. Mastercard is supporting the payment infrastructure behind the program. The arrangement is designed to let participating merchants receive settlement funds in a SoFi Bank account and convert them to cash without requiring merchants to maintain stablecoin balances or build separate systems. SoFi said it is also in discussions with large U.S. merchants about additional stablecoin settlement arrangements. SoFi shares climbed about 1% Tuesday on the news, while Mastercard shares were up about 0.4% in premarket trading.

X Expands Cashtag Trading Links With Coinbase, Gemini, Kraken, Interactive Brokers and Moomoo
Elon Musk's X widened its U.S. Cashtag system on Sept. 22, connecting stock, ETF and cryptocurrency pages to five outside trading platforms through a new U.S. Cashtag Partner Program with Coinbase, Gemini, Kraken, Interactive Brokers and Moomoo. Users can now tap "Trade" after opening a supported ticker such as $BTC or $TSLA, with X displaying a live price chart and related posts before showing available trading partners. The actual transaction takes place on the chosen partner's app or website, not on X itself, and execution, eligibility and account terms all sit with the partner exchange or brokerage. Kraken said its Cashtag integration covers nearly 2,500 assets across its centralized and decentralized offerings, while Interactive Brokers said new eligible U.S. clients can get a $100 promotional credit by opening and funding an account through the Cashtag flow. The rollout builds on an earlier X feature called Smart Cashtags and stays separate from X Money, the platform's payments product, which currently offers no direct link for funding trades.
Bank of America Backs Tighter Guardrails for AI Shopping Agents
Bank of America has joined other major banks in pushing for tighter safeguards around AI shopping agents as autonomous commerce moves closer to mainstream payments. The banks want autonomous transactions to clearly disclose when an AI agent is involved, explain important purchasing decisions and protect customer information while keeping platforms interoperable. The bigger concern is what happens when a bot gets a transaction wrong, since automated purchasing could expose card credentials, steer consumers toward options with weaker protections and make responsibility for fraud harder to untangle. The stakes are large at Bank of America's scale: the company processed roughly $1.2 trillion in payments during the second quarter, while credit- and debit-card spending totaled about $266 billion. The bank's shares traded at $57.435 on Tuesday, and the stock sits 6.94% above its $53.71 GF Value.
