Startale and M0 to Launch USDSC Stablecoin on Sony’s Soneium Ethereum Layer 2 Network

COINOTAG News reports that Japanese technology group Startale has entered a strategic alliance with M0, a stablecoin issuance platform, to deploy the USDSC on Sony’s Ethereum Layer-2 network, known as Soneium. The initiative targets a compliant USD-pegged settlement token designed for institutional clients and fintech partners within Sony’s ecosystem.

By leveraging Soneium, the collaboration aims to reduce settlement latency and gas costs while preserving robust custody, governance, and security standards. The project emphasizes interoperability with existing DeFi rails and external auditors to support enterprise-grade use cases and transparent risk controls around reserves.

No launch timeline has been disclosed, but the alliance reflects a rising corporate appetite for stablecoins issued on Layer-2 platforms as a scalable pathway for cross-border payments and digital asset settlement within regulated frameworks.
