Sony Group Pioneers Stablecoin Experimentation and Embraces Web3 Technologies

索尼集團率先進行穩定幣實驗並採用 Web3 技術

Tokyo, Japan - Sony Bank, the financial arm of global conglomerate Sony Group, is embarking on a novel experiment involving the issuance of a stablecoin pegged to the Japanese Yen. This initiative, undertaken in partnership with blockchain firm SettleMint, seeks to harness the transformative potential of stablecoins, digital assets designed to maintain a stable value by being backed by real-world assets.

日本東京 - 全球企業集團索尼集團的金融部門索尼銀行正在進行一項新穎的實驗，涉及發行與日圓掛鉤的穩定幣。該計劃是與區塊鏈公司 SettleMint 合作開展的，旨在利用穩定幣的變革潛力，穩定幣是一種數位資產，旨在透過現實世界資產的支持來保持穩定的價值。

The stablecoin, currently undergoing trials on the Polygon blockchain, is envisioned as a transformative payment solution for businesses leveraging Sony Group's vast intellectual property portfolio. By utilizing a stablecoin, businesses can mitigate the volatility inherent in traditional cryptocurrencies and enjoy the benefits of reduced transaction fees and simplified payment processes.

該穩定幣目前正在 Polygon 區塊鏈上進行試驗，預計將成為利用索尼集團龐大智慧財產權組合的企業的變革性支付解決方案。透過使用穩定幣，企業可以減輕傳統加密貨幣固有的波動性，並享受降低交易費用和簡化支付流程的好處。

Sony Group, renowned for its leadership in entertainment and technology, is also making significant strides in the emerging realm of Web3 technologies. Through a collaboration with Startale Labs, the company is establishing its own public blockchain network, underscoring its commitment to driving innovation and laying the foundation for a global infrastructure that embraces the Web3 era.

索尼集團以其在娛樂和技術領域的領先地位而聞名，也在新興的 Web3 技術領域取得了重大進展。透過與 Startale Labs 的合作，該公司正在建立自己的公共區塊鏈網絡，強調其致力於推動創新並為擁抱 Web3 時代的全球基礎設施奠定基礎。

This strategic venture represents a culmination of over a year of dedicated development and underscores the significance of leveraging existing assets and services to facilitate the onboarding of billions of users into the Web3 ecosystem. By seamlessly integrating blockchain technology into various industries, Sony Group envisions widespread adoption and utilization of these transformative technologies.

這個策略項目代表了一年多的專注開發的頂峰，並強調了利用現有資產和服務促進數十億用戶加入 Web3 生態系統的重要性。透過將區塊鏈技術無縫整合到各個行業，索尼集團設想廣泛採用和利用這些變革性技術。

Japan has emerged as a leader in stablecoin adoption, guided by comprehensive regulatory frameworks that have been implemented in response to market events such as the collapse of TerraUSD. These regulations mandate that local stablecoins be pegged to the Japanese Yen or other fiat currencies, ensuring stability and allowing holders to redeem them at face value.

在為因應 TerraUSD 崩盤等市場事件而實施的綜合監管框架的指導下，日本已成為穩定幣採用的領導者。這些法規要求本地穩定幣與日圓或其他法定貨幣掛鉤，以確保穩定性並允許持有者按面值贖回。

As a result, crypto and finance entities in Japan are actively exploring the issuance of stablecoins. Binance Japan, in collaboration with banking institution MUFG, and Circle, partnering with SBI Holdings, are among those spearheading the circulation of USDC within Japan. Moreover, regional banks such as Hokkoku have introduced their own bank deposit-backed stablecoin, Tochika, for designated retail outlets.

因此，日本的加密貨幣和金融實體正在積極探索穩定幣的發行。 Binance Japan 與銀行機構 MUFG 合作，Circle 與 SBI Holdings 合作，是推動 USDC 在日本流通的機構之一。此外，Hokkoku 等地區性銀行也為指定零售店推出了自己的銀行存款支援的穩定幣 Tochika。

In March, Sony Bank unveiled its plans to launch the Sony Bank CONNECT app during the summer, offering users access to non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and other Web3 entertainment rewards, seamlessly integrated with financial services. The bank also introduced a US dollar green finance security token tailored to the Japanese market. These security tokens, issued on the Securitize private blockchain platform, provide investors with the opportunity to acquire NFTs.

今年 3 月，索尼銀行公佈了在夏季推出 Sony Bank CONNECT 應用程式的計劃，為用戶提供不可替代代幣 (NFT) 和其他 Web3 娛樂獎勵，並與金融服務無縫整合。該銀行還推出了針對日本市場量身訂製的美元綠色金融證券代幣。這些證券代幣在 Securitize 私人區塊鏈平台上發行，為投資者提供了獲得 NFT 的機會。

Through these multifaceted blockchain-related initiatives, Sony Bank showcases its unwavering commitment to innovation and digital transformation within the financial sector. By embracing stablecoins and actively contributing to the development of Web3 technologies, Sony Group is positioning itself as a key player in shaping the future of digital commerce and entertainment.

透過這些與區塊鏈相關的多方面舉措，索尼銀行展現了對金融領域創新和數位轉型的堅定承諾。透過擁抱穩定幣並積極為 Web3 技術的發展做出貢獻，索尼集團將自己定位為塑造數位商務和娛樂未來的關鍵參與者。
