Sony has secured conditional approval from the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) to establish a national trust bank, Connectia Trust. Set to launch in 2027 with a registered capital of $40 million, the bank will focus on the issuance and management of USD-denominated stablecoins in the United States. This move marks Sony's strategic entry into the burgeoning stablecoin market, aligning with its broader financial services expansion.
