Sony Singapore has enabled cryptocurrency payments, allowing shoppers to use USDC for purchases on the Sony Store Online. It is Sony’s first direct engagement with crypto transactions in the region.
USDC provides secure transactions without price volatility concerns. While Sony currently supports only USDC, industry experts anticipate the company will expand its cryptocurrency payment options.
