Sony will promote the tokenization of its IP asset portfolio and plans to establish an investment fund to support the Soneium ecosystem.

ME News Report, April 17 (UTC+8), Sony's Ethereum Layer 2 network Soneium blockchain business head Hatano Hitoji stated that Sony's blockchain business is transitioning from the experimental stage to a commercialized phase. The former "Advanced Infrastructure Business Exploration Department" has been renamed the "On-Chain Business Strategy Department," repositioning blockchain as a core part of the company's strategic focus. This year, Sony will focus on exploring on-chain integration in the IP sector, using Soneium to build on-chain IP infrastructure for core assets such as music, animation, gaming, movies, and sports, while simultaneously developing related legal and regulatory framework systems. Additionally, Sony is preparing to establish a GP/LP investment fund to accelerate investments in applications and entertainment sectors on Soneium by introducing external capital. Currently, its incubation program SPARK has received over 2,000 DApp applications, with 23 projects already receiving investment. Sony's ecosystem also includes the cryptocurrency exchange S.BLOX, aimed at connecting fiat currency with digital assets. (Source: Foresight News)

Sony's IP library is terrifying; if it gets on the blockchain, the NFT market will change forever.

With so many Ethereum L2 solutions, can Soneium stand out and succeed by leveraging IP differentiation?

Music, animation, gaming, movies, sports—all need to be on the blockchain; Sony has a really big appetite, but the ecosystem is indeed comprehensive.

I remember the name Kazuto Hatano, I hope it's not just another PPT blockchain.

The concept of on-chain IP infrastructure sounds grand, but it’s not easy to implement, so people are watching cautiously.
