[Sony May Launch USD Stablecoin for Payments in Gaming and Anime Ecosystems]

Bitpush news, Sony Group plans to issue a USD-denominated stablecoin next year for U.S. customers to purchase games, anime, and other content within its digital ecosystem.

This move comes after Sony's banking division, Sony Bank, applied for a U.S. national banking license in October. The license would allow its subsidiary, Connectia Trust, to engage in "certain designated activities involving cryptocurrencies," including issuing a USD-pegged stablecoin, maintaining corresponding reserve assets, and providing custody and digital asset management services.

Sony Bank has partnered with stablecoin company Bastion, which will provide the infrastructure for the Sony stablecoin. Sony Bank hopes U.S. customers can use its stablecoin to pay for game subscriptions and other content on the PlayStation platform, which would reduce credit card transaction fees.

Previously, Sony and its partner Startale Group launched the ETH Layer2 network Soneium in January 2025. Sony Group also operates the PlayStation platform and Crunchyroll anime streaming service.

[Musk Predicts: $38.3 Trillion "Crisis" May Trigger Bitcoin Price Surge]

Bitpush news, according to Forbes, Elon Musk has once again issued a warning, stating that the U.S. is rapidly heading toward a "debt crisis" that could trigger significant volatility in bitcoin prices. Traders are preparing for major policy changes that may come from the Fed in December. Against this backdrop, Musk predicts that in the future, "money as a concept will cease to exist," and energy will become the only "real currency." In an interview with Nikhil Kamath, Musk said, "That's why I say bitcoin is based on energy; after all, you can't create energy by legislation." He also mentioned, "The U.S. is significantly increasing the money supply through a deficit of about $2 trillion." Musk further predicted that within three years, the development of artificial intelligence will cause the output of goods and services to outpace inflation. "About three years from now, the output of goods and services will grow faster than the money supply. At that point, deflation may occur, interest rates will fall to zero, and the debt problem will be much smaller than it is now."

Musk has previously helped Trump return to the White House through campaign rallies and warnings about the U.S.'s ever-increasing debt (now over $38 trillion), but his relationship with Trump soured sharply after Trump failed to control government spending. Although Musk's support for bitcoin and cryptocurrencies is not as strong as it was during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic, he continues to support bitcoin and dogecoin. After leaving the White House, Musk stated that the "American Party" he advocates would be more inclined to choose bitcoin over the dollar, and said that the dollar and other non-asset-backed currencies are "hopeless."
