SOFI's $1.05B Volume Drives 79th U.S. Stock Liquidity Rank Amid Regulatory Scrutiny

On August 15, 2025, SoFi Technologies (SOFI) closed with a 2.06% increase, trading with a daily volume of $1.05 billion, ranking 79th among U.S. stocks by liquidity. The fintech lender’s performance aligned with broader market trends but drew particular attention due to its position in high-volume trading segments.

Recent developments affecting SOFI include adjustments to its consumer loan product offerings and ongoing regulatory scrutiny over credit underwriting practices. These factors contributed to elevated volatility in the stock, as investors balanced optimism around product innovation with concerns over compliance costs. Analysts noted the stock’s price action reflected cautious positioning ahead of upcoming earnings reports.

The strategy of buying the top 500 stocks by daily trading volume and holding them for one day from 2022 to present delivered a 0.98% average return per trade. Over the period, cumulative gains totaled 37.61%, indicating stable but conservative performance compared to high-risk alternatives. The data underscores the limitations of volume-driven strategies in generating outsized returns in a diversified market environment.
