SONY-1.14%
Sony Bank won conditional approval from the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency on July 6 to establish a national trust bank, Connectia Trust, for issuing a dollar-backed stablecoin. The subsidiary will be set up this month with $40 million in capital and is expected to begin operations in 2027 pending final regulatory clearance. The trust will issue and manage a dollar-denominated stablecoin, with Sony planning to enable U.S. customers to use the token for purchases across its ecosystem including PlayStation and Crunchyroll. Sony Bank has partnered with infrastructure firm Bastion to handle issuance, reserve management and custody of the stablecoin.
