Sony's blockchain partner Startale launched the USD stablecoin USDSC on the Soneium network.

Startale Group, a blockchain company that has partnered with tech giant Sony on its Web3 platform Soneium, has launched a stablecoin pegged to the US dollar: Startale USD (USDSC). The token aims to become the default digital dollar for payments, rewards, and other functions within the Soneium ecosystem. Soneium is an Ethereum Layer 2 network launched last year by Sony Block Solutions Labs, a joint venture between Sony Group and Startale. USDSC is built on the infrastructure of M0, a startup developing a modular platform for programmable stablecoins. In addition, Startale has launched the STAR points reward system, which incentivizes users to mint or hold USDSC, complete in-app tasks, or earn rewards through STAR points.
