Customers largely use credit cards to complete such transactions at present, so Sony may look to promote stablecoin payments through the lower fees they enable.
Sony Bank applied for a banking license in the U.S. in October and plans to establish a subsidiary to handle the issuance of a stablecoin, seeking to capture the opportunity from the expansion of this sector in the last year.
The U.S. passed the GENIUS act into law in July, establishing a regulatory framework for the issuance and use of USD-backed stablecoins.
Sony Bank did not respond to CoinDesk's request for further comment.
