Startale Group, in collaboration with Sony Block Solutions Labs, has launched the Startale App, a unified super app designed to ease the entry into Sony’s Ethereum Layer 2 network, Soneium. This platform provides users with a seamless way to engage with token generation events, airdrops, and rewards within the Soneium ecosystem. Currently in closed beta, the app aims to streamline Web3 experiences, removing barriers for mainstream adoption.
The Startale App leverages account abstraction to offer a simplified experience for users interacting with blockchain technology. By eliminating the need for seed phrases, the app allows for gasless transactions and intuitive wallet management. Users can now enjoy a frictionless Web3 experience without the complexity of multiple wallets or managing transactions manually.
In addition to this, the app integrates Mini Apps, allowing developers to build directly within the Soneium network without the need for separate websites. This feature not only boosts the app’s accessibility but also fosters a more cohesive ecosystem for developers and users alike. Startale Group aims to address the challenges of fragmented Web3 interfaces, making the technology more approachable for everyday users.
Startale CEO, Sota Watanabe, emphasized the goal of the app, stating that it was designed to remove the “final barrier” to Web3 adoption. By tailoring the experience to attract mainstream users, the app makes blockchain technology as simple to use as any mainstream mobile application. The platform is designed to foster broader participation in the Soneium ecosystem, contributing to its growing success.
The Startale App is positioned to be an integral part of Japan’s expanding Web3 landscape. Japan’s Financial Services Agency has been enhancing regulations around cryptocurrency and stablecoins, creating a favorable environment for the app. The app plans to integrate Japan’s yen-pegged stablecoins and tokenized Japanese equities, ensuring compliance with local regulations.
Startale has partnered with SBI Holdings to develop stablecoin infrastructure and a tokenized equities trading platform. These collaborations further strengthen Startale’s position in the rapidly evolving crypto ecosystem. Through these partnerships, the Startale App will continue to provide access to new digital assets and Web3 experiences, reinforcing its role as a central hub for the Soneium network.
As Japan’s crypto regulations evolve, Startale aims to bridge the gap between traditional finance and decentralized technology. With the app set to launch to the public soon, it promises to be a key player in shaping the future of Web3 adoption. The platform’s user-friendly features and strong local partnerships put it in a strong position to support the growth of the Soneium ecosystem.

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
