The Bank That Does Everything Except Brew Tea

The press release, penned with all the subtlety of a brass band in a monastery, informs us that businesses may now enjoy deposit accounts of alarming capacity at SoFi’s nationally chartered bank, with payments whizzing about 24/7 courtesy of an API. Apparently, one can shuffle funds between fiat dollars, SoFiUSD-their very own stablecoin-and a smattering of other digital curiosities without the tedious inconvenience of changing providers.

Binance’s Secret Weapon: Ukraine’s Blockchain Salvation?

In a gesture that might be mistaken for altruism, Richard Teng, co-CEO of Binance, has unveiled the Digital Resilience Lab-a program so earnest it could make a monk weep.

Ripple’s Treasury Update: Crypto Meets Cash in a Financial Rom-Com

Apparently, these features are the first of their kind-native digital-asset capabilities built directly into a treasury management system.
