[Chain News] Traditional tech giants are making new moves in Web3. Startale Group recently issued a stablecoin called USDSC, specifically designed to serve the Soneium Layer2 chain.

So what’s Soneium? Last year, Sony and Startale formed a joint venture called Sony Block Solutions Labs to launch this Ethereum Layer 2 network. Now, USDSC is set to play a core role in this ecosystem—whether it’s for payments, rewards, or other application scenarios, it’s intended to be the default digital dollar.

On the technical side, USDSC is built on M0’s infrastructure. M0 is a startup focused on programmable stablecoin modular platforms, and their technical foundation is quite solid.

What’s even more interesting is the corresponding incentive model. Startale has simultaneously launched the STAR points reward system: you can earn points by minting or holding USDSC, completing tasks within apps, or interacting with various decentralized applications through the Startale App (which can be seen as the mobile gateway to the Soneium ecosystem).

Altogether, this combination clearly aims to keep users circulating within the Soneium ecosystem using stablecoins and incentives. Traditional tech giants doing Web3—definitely a different approach.

Sony is at it again, cashing in on retail investors. I've seen this stablecoin + points incentive combo way too many times.

What is Sony up to again? It feels like they always manage to come up with something new.

Sony is here to fleece us again, this time with a stablecoin. Stablecoins and incentives again—they really think we’re fools. With so many Layer2s out there, why does Sony insist on making their own? Never even heard of USDSC, they hyped it up but it’ll probably flop in the end. I really don’t trust anything from Sony, their points and incentive schemes are too shady. The stablecoin war has only just begun—can Sony really beat USDC?
