Sony Enters Web3 Era: Launches US Dollar Stablecoin for PS Purchases in 2026

Sony Bank is pioneering a new payment system by launching a stablecoin pegged to the U.S. dollar, designed to transform how users purchase PlayStation games, subscriptions, and anime content. This move targets the massive U.S. market, representing almost one-third of Sony’s sales. The stablecoin will be introduced in 2026 alongside traditional payment options such as credit cards. It also offers potential savings by reducing network transaction fees.
