Simply Wall St · 1d ago
  • SoFi Technologies and Payward, parent of Kraken, recently agreed a partnership that links SoFi’s Big Business Banking, SoFi Exchange Network and SoFiUSD stablecoin with Kraken’s trading and prime brokerage platform.
  • The tie-up gives SoFiUSD a listing on one of the world’s largest digital asset venues while adding Kraken Prime liquidity and around the clock settlement rails to SoFi’s crypto offering.
  • The next question is how integrating SoFiUSD with Kraken’s liquidity and settlement network may reshape SoFi Technologies’ investment narrative.

SoFi Technologies Investment Narrative Recap

For SoFi Technologies, the core belief is that a digital, all-in-one finance platform can keep adding members, deepen product usage and shift more of its revenue toward capital light fees. That story now leans more on SoFiUSD, Big Business Banking and the SoFi Exchange Network, with the Kraken tie-in giving those rails a larger venue to prove their usefulness. The near term swing factor still sits in execution on member and product uptake, while the most immediate risk is that expectations for rapid revenue and earnings expansion remain ahead of what the franchise actually delivers.

The most relevant recent milestone is SoFi Technologies’ launch of Big Business Banking in April, which pulled its enterprise banking and digital asset capabilities into a single offer. The new Kraken arrangement essentially stress tests that platform with higher volumes, more demanding institutional clients and a true 24/7 workflow. That can reinforce the shift toward fee driven activity if flows build, yet it also raises the bar on risk controls, operational uptime and regulatory compliance around SoFiUSD and crypto services that are already embedded in the broader growth story.

Yet there is one structural pressure point in this always on model that deserves closer attention before drawing firm conclusions...

Read the full SoFi Technologies narrative to see the case behind these numbers.

SoFi Technologies' narrative projects US$7.7b revenue and US$1.7b earnings by 2029. That framework assumes 21.6% yearly revenue growth and an earnings increase of about US$1.1b from US$636.3m today.

SoFi Technologies' forecasts put fair value at $19.92 versus $18.22, a 9% upside to its current price that could narrow quickly.

Exploring Other Perspectives

Some of the most optimistic analysts frame the real swing factor very differently. You see the SoFi Technologies Kraken link as a test of new rails. They see it as proof of a broader partnership model they already expected to push revenue toward about US$9.3b and earnings near US$1.9b by 2029. Those views were set before this news, so you may want to revisit both the cautious and punchier forecasts in light of it.
