Sony's banking arm is making waves in the crypto space. Reports from Japanese media suggest the financial unit eyes a 2026 launch for its own dollar-backed stablecoin on U.S. soil. The move targets payments across Sony's entertainment empire—think PlayStation purchases and anime streaming subscriptions. They've already thrown their hat in the ring for American banking credentials last October. A dedicated subsidiary is apparently in the works to handle operations. Interesting play from a legacy brand diving into blockchain rails.

Sony is getting into stablecoins? Looks like traditional big companies are really getting competitive now.

Sony is getting into stablecoins? Players now have another payment option, and PlayStation deposits might really be undergoing a reform.

Sony is making a stablecoin? Laughing to death, we have to wait until 2026, this pace is just too slow.
