现在，新加坡的购物者可以使用加密货币来支付在线索尼商店的小工具。

The feature, which launches today, will allow customers to check out using USDC via crypto exchange Crypto.com’s payment service. It’s the first time Sony is offering direct crypto transactions in the Southeast Asian country.

该功能今天启动，将允许客户通过Crypto Exchange Crypto.com的付款服务使用USDC查看。这是索尼第一次在东南亚国家提供直接加密交易。

The stablecoin option, which is currently exclusive to the Sony Store Online, will be available via Crypto.com’s payment system.

索尼商店在线专有的Stablecoin选项将通过Crypto.com的付款系统获得。

With $60.06 billion in circulation, USDC is the second-most prominent stablecoin, following Tether’s USDT at $144.02 billion, according to CoinGecko. Circle, the company behind USDC, filed an S-1 with the U.S. SEC, intending to go public via an IPO.

根据Coingecko的数据，凭借600.6亿美元的流通，USDC是第二大杰出的Stablecoin，仅次于Tether的USDT为1440.2亿美元。 USDC背后的公司Circle向美国SEC提交了S-1，打算通过IPO公开。

“We’re pushing to make paying in crypto more mainstream,” said Chin Tah Ang, General Manager of Crypto.com Singapore.

“我们正在努力使Crypto更多主流付款，” Crypto.com新加坡总经理Chin Tah Ang说。

“Partnering with a brand like Sony will help amplify the visibility of crypto payments and provide consumers with the seamless checkout experience they've come to expect from Sony.”

“与索尼这样的品牌合作将有助于扩大加密货币的可见性，并为消费者提供他们期望的无缝结帐体验。”

While the offering will start with just one crypto, Sony plans to add support for others in the future.

虽然产品将从一个加密货币开始，但索尼计划将来对他人增加支持。

Sony Singapore did not immediately respond to Decrypt’s request for comment.

The move comes amid a broader shift within Sony’s global operations toward blockchain and Web3 technologies.

这一举动是在索尼的全球运营向区块链和Web3技术的更广泛转变中发生的。

Earlier this year, Sony debuted Soneium, a custom-built Ethereum layer-2 network created by its Singapore-based subsidiary Sony Block Solutions Labs.

今年早些时候，索尼（Sony）首次亮相，这是由基于新加坡的子公司Sony Block Solutions Labs创建的定制以太坊2层网络。

While Soneium operates quietly in the background, it’s intended to support a wide range of blockchain use cases, spanning digital collectibles, creator tools, and potentially, in-game economies tied to Sony’s entertainment empire.

尽管Soneium在背景中安静地运行，但它旨在支持各种区块链用例，涵盖数字收藏品，创建者工具以及可能与索尼娱乐帝国相关的游戏内经济体。

In September, during its testing phase, Soneium integrated support for bridged USDC, positioning the token as a go-to option for transactions across apps built on the network.

9月，在其测试阶段，Soneium对桥接USDC的综合支持将令牌定位为跨网络构建的应用程序的交易的首选。

Developers have since used Soneium to launch NFT collections, such as a soulbound drop celebrating Sony’s iconic Aibo robot, and early-stage games, with a growing catalog of consumer-facing tools.

此后，开发人员使用Soneium推出了NFT系列，例如庆祝索尼的标志性AIBO机器人和早期游戏的Soulbound Drop，并具有越来越多的面向消费者工具的目录。

Crypto.com is also expanding its footprint rapidly.

Crypto.com也正在迅速扩展其足迹。

Last month, the exchange signed a non-binding agreement with Trump Media and Technology Group to launch crypto-focused ETFs, including offerings tied to Bitcoin (BTC) and its own Cronos (CRO) token.

上个月，该交易所与特朗普媒体和技术集团签署了一项非约束协议，以推出以加密货币为中心的ETF，包括与比特币（BTC）及其自己的CRONOS（CRO）代币相关的产品。

Those funds are expected to go live on the Crypto.com platform following regulatory clearance.

这些资金有望在监管批准后在Crypto.com平台上启用。

CRO has jumped 8.5% on the news to $0.10, according to CoinGecko.

根据Coingecko的说法，CRO的新闻上涨了8.5％，达到0.10美元。
