PANews reported on August 30 that Sony's blockchain project Soneium has partnered with Transak to provide global fiat currency entry services, providing users with the option of joining the ecosystem using traditional payment methods. It is reported that the integration of Soneium and Transak may promote "wider adoption of blockchain technology within the gaming community" and may create new tokenization opportunities, where gamers can purchase, transfer and trade in-game assets and NFTs using traditional payment methods supported by Transak.

Transak is a web3 payment infrastructure provider that announced in July that it would provide fiat currency entry services for Uniswap wallets.

Earlier on August 23, Sony announced the launch of the Ethereum-based Layer-2 network "Soneium".
