Odaily News Sony Group plans to issue a dollar-pegged stablecoin next year for American customers to use within its digital ecosystem to purchase content such as games and anime. This move comes after Sony's banking division, Sony Bank, applied for a national bank charter in the U.S. in October. The charter will allow its subsidiary Connectia Trust to engage in "certain specified activities involving encryption," including the issuance of a stablecoin pegged to the dollar, maintaining corresponding reserve assets, and providing custody and digital asset management services. Sony Bank has partnered with stablecoin company Bastion, which will provide the infrastructure for the Sony stablecoin. Sony Bank hopes that American customers will be able to use its stablecoin for payments.

Sony Bank is accelerating the layout of its encryption payment system, planning to issue a stablecoin pegged to the US dollar as early as fiscal year 2026, aimed at serving Sony's vast global ecosystem of games, streaming, and anime. According to Nikkei News, this stablecoin will allow users to directly pay for subscriptions and digital content fees on PlayStation and related platforms without relying on credit cards, further dropping Sony's payment costs on credit card networks. In order to successfully launch the product into the US market, Sony Bank applied for a US banking license in October this year and plans to establish a US branch to be responsible for issuance and compliance matters, while collaborating with the US stablecoin infrastructure company Bastion. Over 30% of Sony's revenue comes from the US, making US consumers a key group for the early promotion of stablecoins. This plan also benefits from the recently passed GENIUS Act.
