Sony is going big this time—directly launching the Startale USD stablecoin on its own Ethereum L2 network.
This isn’t just an ordinary stablecoin used for simple transfers. They’ve bundled payment functions and reward mechanisms together, directly integrating with the three major consumer scenarios: games, apps, and content. In simple terms, it means you can use this stablecoin for payments while playing games, using apps, or consuming content, and even earn rewards.
It’s noteworthy when a traditional tech giant steps in to build Web3 infrastructure. After all, Sony holds the PlayStation ecosystem and entertainment content resources. If they can really make this stablecoin system work, the user base of Ethereum L2 could see substantial growth. Once consumer-facing applications scale up, the demand for ETH will naturally rise as well.

Sony is really getting serious. The PS ecosystem is integrating stablecoins, so it looks like traditional big companies are serious about Web3 now.
---
It's about stablecoins and rewards again. Sounds good, but can it actually work?
---
Is L2 so competitive now that even Sony has to join in?
---
With such a large PlayStation user base, if they really roll it out... ETH does seem a bit uncertain.
---
It's called a reward mechanism, but isn't it just a new way to cut the leeks?
---
Using stablecoins for direct in-game purchases? This ecosystem is quite well thought out.
---
Big companies entering the scene are on a different level, directly bringing Web3 into a consumer-grade experience.
---
Wait, can this stablecoin really run on-chain, or is it just another paper plan?
