The startale superapp launched by a Tokyo-based group provides a one-stop gateway into the Soneium ecosystem, connecting to a claimed $75B DeFi network and enabling early token generation events, on-chain rewards, and ecosystem airdrops while simplifying Mini App onboarding.
The launch pairs Startale with Ethereum layer two built for high-throughput applications. The integration is presented as a smoother on-ramp to on-chain products and services.
That integration highlights Soneium cumulative activity: roughly 380 million transfers across about 5.1 million wallets, figures cited by the companies as usage signals.
The Startale App is designed to surface token generation events and onchain rewards airdrops early, using Mini Apps so builders need not deploy standalone websites. Consequently, projects can host TGEs and reward flows natively on the Soneium layer two while preserving composability.
Reports also mention work with financial partners on stablecoin rails, which could accelerate distribution of airdrops and on-chain payments.
The team positions the app as a bridge between traditional finance and a claimed $75 billion decentralized finance network on Ethereum. In practice, back-end stablecoin effort aims to connect custody and compliance layers to on-chain settlement.
Startale stated objective is to lower friction for mainstream users while keeping composability for builders.
The coverage references Sony and a reported collaboration with SBI Holdings on stablecoin infrastructure, while emphasising Startale role as integrator. The app also lets developers build directly on Soneium without separate websites, simplifying deployment.
Startale CEO Sota Watanable said the Startale App was designed to “remove the final barrier to Web3 adoption, the fragmented user experience,” and added the platform seeks interoperability across Ethereum and other ecosystems, the company stated.


BitGo’s move creates further competition in a burgeoning European crypto market that is expected to generate $26 billion revenue this year, according to one estimate. BitGo, a digital asset infrastructure company with more than $100 billion in assets under custody, has received an extension of its license from Germany’s Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin), enabling it to offer crypto services to European investors. The company said its local subsidiary, BitGo Europe, can now provide custody, staking, transfer, and trading services. Institutional clients will also have access to an over-the-counter (OTC) trading desk and multiple liquidity venues.The extension builds on BitGo’s previous Markets-in-Crypto-Assets (MiCA) license, also issued by BaFIN, and adds trading to the existing custody, transfer and staking services. BitGo acquired its initial MiCA license in May 2025, which allowed it to offer certain services to traditional institutions and crypto native companies in the European Union.Read more
