[Sony's Blockchain Partner Startale Launches USD Stablecoin USDSC on the Soneium Network] According to CoinDesk, blockchain company Startale Group, which collaborates with tech giant Sony on its Web3 platform Soneium, has launched a USD-pegged stablecoin called Startale USD (USDSC). This token is designed to serve as 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 Group and Startale through their joint venture, Sony Block Solutions Labs. USDSC is built on the infrastructure of M0, a startup developing a modular platform for programmable stablecoins. Additionally, Startale has introduced the STAR Points reward system, which incentivizes users to mint or hold USDSC, complete in-app tasks, or interact with decentralized applications via the Startale app, the mobile hub of the Soneium ecosystem.
