Sony Bank is preparing to issue a USD-pegged stablecoin in 2026 in America, aiming to optimize payments within Sony's gaming and anime ecosystem after receiving regulatory approval. This move marks Sony's entry into the over 300 billion USD stablecoin market, in line with the compliance framework of the GENIUS Act for stable cryptocurrency issuance.
Sony Bank US has applied for a cryptocurrency banking license to support the issuance of stablecoin. At the same time, Sony plans to leverage existing blockchain platforms within the group's ecosystem to improve payments for game and anime content.
Analysts believe that Sony's participation could significantly impact the current stablecoin market structure. The cryptocurrency community has shown interest in the plan to integrate blockchain into Sony's entertainment products, seeing this as a strategic move to expand the company's influence in the Web3 space.
