Crypto.com’s Singapore General Manager, Chin Tah Ang, said that bringing crypto payments to brands like Sony could help more people get used to using digital currencies. He said in the announcement:

We’re pushing to make paying in crypto more mainstream. The company hopes this move will encourage broader use of crypto in everyday shopping.

Sony has said it plans to support more cryptocurrencies in the future, but there is no confirmed timeline for that yet.
