    Sony has entered the blockchain space with the launch of Soneium, an Ethereum layer-2 blockchain designed to attract Web3 developers across various industries, including entertainment, gaming, and finance. This initiative, developed by Sony Block Solutions Labs—a joint venture between Sony Group and Startale Labs—aims to offer tools that help developers create compliant applications while navigating global regulations. Industry partnerships with companies like Optimism, Circle, Alchemy, and Chainlink are set to enhance Soneium's capabilities, making it a significant entry in the Web3 ecosystem.

Interest rates directly impact liquidity and investor behavior in all markets, including cryptocurrencies. This news is closely watched alongside other regulatory developments such as CFTC enforcement actions, which have also been influencing market trends and volatility.
