Switzer said SoFiUSD now joins other major stablecoins that already have ties with Mastercard. That move strengthens SoFi’s position as one of the first U.S. banks to push a regulated, bank-issued stablecoin into a global card network.

The analyst said the consumer impact is still unclear. Even so, he believes SoFi “has the chance to become a significant player” as the stablecoin space evolves.

Early Move Could Matter in a Crowded Field

Switzer said the stablecoin market may not remain fragmented for long. As use grows, it could narrow to a few large players with wide reach and strong network ties. By partnering with Mastercard early, SoFi may gain an edge as the market takes shape.

At the same time, he kept an Underperform rating on the shares with a $20 price target, signaling that while the strategic move is a big step, valuation concerns remain.

The partnership places SoFiUSD inside one of the world’s largest payment networks and marks a new step in the push to connect regulated digital dollars with everyday card transactions.

What Is SoFi’s Price Target?

According to TipRanks’ consensus, SOFI stock has a Hold consensus rating based on five Buys, seven Holds, and three Sells assigned in the last three months. At $25.96, the average SoFi stock price target implies a 39.49% upside potential.
