What is SoFi?

SoFi started as a student loan refinancing company in 2011. In recent years, SoFi has successfully transformed into one of the largest digitally native banks in the United States, with more than 10 million members and more than $25 billion in deposits.

The reason for this wave of stock price rise is not only the outstanding performance of its latest third-quarter financial report, but more importantly, yesterday (11th) SoFi was approved by the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) and became the first nationally chartered bank in the United States to directly provide Bitcoin and cryptocurrency transactions. It officially shed the "FinTech Startup" label and became a digital financial giant on the same level as traditional major banks.

In this regard, analysts are generally optimistic about SoFi’s timing advantage in entering the encryption market. Goldman Sachs’ latest report gave it a “buy” rating and raised the target price to $40.
