Sony Bank will enter the U.S. stablecoin market through a partnership with Bastion, aiming to reduce transaction fees for PlayStation users and anime content subscribers. The dollar-pegged stablecoin—slated for 2026—marks Sony's first digital asset venture.

The Tokyo-based lender applied for a U.S. banking license in October and is establishing a dedicated subsidiary. Bastion will handle issuance, reserves, and custody for the stablecoin, which targets Sony's lucrative U.S. market accounting for 30% of external revenue.

This MOVE follows growing institutional adoption of stablecoins for payments. By leveraging its gaming ecosystem, Sony positions itself to capture crypto-native users while bypassing traditional payment rails.

Risk warning: Digital asset trading is an emerging industry with bright prospects, but it also comes with huge risks as it is a new market. The risk is especially high in leveraged trading since leverage magnifies profits and amplifies risks at the same time. Please make sure you have a thorough understanding of the industry, the leveraged trading models, and the rules of trading before opening a position. Additionally, we strongly recommend that you identify your risk tolerance and only accept the risks you are willing to take. All trading involves risks, so you must be cautious when entering the market.
