#ETH走势分析 Is Sony about to launch a token? That’s right—and you might be able to use it to buy games.

According to a recent report from Nikkei, Sony is working on a stablecoin project pegged to the US dollar. The goal is clear: to create a unified payment system within its own ecosystem. In the future, players might be able to use this digital currency to buy games, renew PS Plus memberships, purchase skins, or even pay for anime streaming services. It sounds futuristic, but Sony is clearly serious about it.

On the technical side, Web3 company Bastion is in charge, and it will be integrated with Sony’s own Ethereum-based layer-2 network, Soneium. What’s the benefit of using their own blockchain? It cuts out banks and credit card platforms, meaning no middleman fees and instant transactions. For Sony, that means lower costs and higher efficiency. For users? In theory, purchasing costs could drop as well.

But the biggest hurdle right now is regulation. Sony’s subsidiary, Connectia Trust, has already applied for relevant licenses in the US and must comply with strict requirements like those in the GENIUS Act—since this involves financial transparency, the compliance pressure is significant.

If it really launches, the game purchasing process could be completely transformed. No more being limited by regional payment channels, and cross-border transactions would be much smoother. Whether regular players will actually embrace it, though, will depend on the real-world experience. $BTC $ETH $BNB
