Ethereum’s Layer 2 solution, Soneium, is gaining momentum with a significant new partnership. Circle and Sony Block Solutions Labs have integrated USDC into the Soneium platform, aiming to offer cross-border transactions and digital dollar payments to both users and developers. This strategic collaboration is expected to bolster Soneium’s support for the Web3 ecosystem, as well as empower the creative economy.

Circle, the U.S.-based issuer of stablecoin USDC, is partnering with Sony Block Solutions Labs, the blockchain infrastructure arm of Sony Group. Last August, Sony Block Solutions Labs launched Soneium, a Layer 2 platform built on Ethereum, which quickly garnered attention. Now, through this partnership, USDC is being integrated into Soneium, enabling seamless digital payments and cross-border transactions. 
This integration will allow Soneium to utilize bridged USDC as a primary value token within its ecosystem, unlocking new opportunities for users and facilitating international transactions. Additionally, the integration is expected to enhance the functionality of decentralized applications (dApps) by leveraging USDC’s core features and benefits on Layer 2 networks. Developers will be able to utilize USDC’s stability, while users will benefit from smoother digital dollar payments within the ecosystem.

Circle’s co-founder and CEO, Jeremy Allaire, expressed his excitement about the partnership, stating: “This collaboration marks a significant milestone in our mission to accelerate the adoption of stablecoins and blockchain technology. We aim to help creators thrive through secure and user-friendly Web3 experiences.” His statement reinforces Circle’s commitment to expanding the use of blockchain technology and supporting the creative economy. 
Jun Watanabe, President of Sony Block Solutions Labs, added, “The integration of Circle’s financial infrastructure with Soneium will redefine digital entertainment and finance.” This highlights the potential for Soneium to bring groundbreaking innovation to both industries. 
Beyond the integration of bridged USDC, Soneium has also hinted at the possibility of a future update with a native USDC issuance. This move aligns with Soneium’s broader efforts to accelerate its growth in the Web3 space. Partners supporting the Soneium launch include Astar Network, Chainlink, Alchemy, Optimism, and The Graph, all key players in the blockchain sector. Additionally, fiat payments will be integrated into the network through a partnership with Transak, further expanding Soneium’s ecosystem. 
These strategic collaborations reflect Soneium’s commitment to expanding and enhancing the Web3 landscape. 
At Turkish NY Radio, we’ll continue to follow these developments closely, providing timely updates on this exciting evolution within the blockchain world.
