Likewise, the withdrawal page says users can withdraw funds directly to SoFi Checking or Savings accounts, while non-USDC crypto holdings must be sold before cash proceeds can be moved.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">XRP withdrawals aren&#8217;t allowed by SoFi. It&#8217;s basically only a spot ETF. Does nothing to help the XRP ecosystem, it only acts as a centralized financial vehicle. Technically people aren&#8217;t &#8220;accessing&#8221; XRP via this method, they only get a derivative of its value from a risky bank.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Dan Thurman (@MotiveXRP) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MotiveXRP\/status\/2046617791017660604?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 21, 2026<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>Ideally, XRP users (and any other within the crypto community) would expect on-chain transfer access, not only app-based price exposure. So a deposit-only model lets customers bring tokens into SoFi, but it keeps outbound control inside the bank\u2019s closed platform until external withdrawals are enabled.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"\/>\n<p><strong>Related: Bitcoin Pullback Sparks $260M Liquidations as Geopolitical Tensions Rattle Markets<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-deposit-only-friction\">Deposit-Only Friction<\/h2>\n<p>SoFi\u2019s transfer-in list, updated Feb. 23, showed 11 cryptocurrencies eligible for deposits before XRP was added, including BTC, ETH, USDC, LINK, SHIB, UNI, AAVE, POL, LDO, FLOKI and SOL. A separate trading list updated Jan. 5 showed 27 cryptocurrencies available to trade, including XRP.<\/p>\n<p>A SoFi spokesperson confirmed external digital-asset withdrawals are coming soon, but until then, users who want to move XRP to self-custody wallets or other exchanges cannot complete that flow directly through SoFi.<\/p>\n<p>SoFi\u2019s crypto fee sheet says the bank charges a flat 1% transaction fee on crypto buy and sell orders. It does not charge a fee to receive crypto deposits, making inbound transfers free even as exit functionality remains limited.<\/p>\n<p>That regulatory footing differentiates SoFi from crypto-native exchanges, but it also raises user expectations. A bank-backed platform may offer familiar account integration and compliance controls, while crypto users still expect basic network functionality such as wallet withdrawals.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read more: Warren Challenges SEC Chief as Enforcement Actions Hit Decade Low<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>Crypto Wallets,Digital Asset#SoFi #Adds #XRP #Support #Lack #Withdrawals #Draws #User #Backlash1777041341<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SoFi added XRP deposit support to its crypto platform on April 21, expanding its digital-asset offering.
