Sony Electronics Partners with Crypto.com to Welcome Direct Crypto Payment in Singapore

Sony customers in Singapore can now utilise cryptocurrency to make purchases on Sony Store Online using Crypto.com Pay

Singapore, 2 April 2025 – Sony Electronics (Singapore) Pte. Ltd. (SES) and Crypto.com today announced the acceptance of USDC, a U.S. dollar-pegged stablecoin, exclusively on Sony Store Online in a move to make direct crypto payment accessible to SES’ consumers. 

The integration of cryptocurrency payments is gaining traction worldwide to appeal to tech-savvy consumers. Headquartered in Singapore, Crypto.com is one of the largest and fastest growing cryptocurrency exchanges with more than 140 million users in 90 countries worldwide, and is the industry leader in regulatory compliance, security and privacy certifications. 

“We’re pushing to make paying in crypto more mainstream and partnering with a well-established and forward-thinking brand like Sony Electronics Singapore further raises awareness of how simple it can be to pay for everyday goods and services using crypto,” said Chin Tah Ang, General Manager of Singapore, Crypto.com. “This payment integration will not only benefit our users by giving them another way to utilise their crypto in the real world, but we believe adding a new and streamlined crypto payment method will also broaden SES’ customer base.” 

Constantly embracing innovation and adopting a forward-thinking approach, SES is the first consumer electronics brand in Singapore to partner with Crypto.com in the adoption of direct crypto payment. Crypto.com users will now benefit from an optimised checkout experience via Sony Store Online through Crypto.com Pay. Starting with USDC, SES has plans to expand to other cryptocurrencies, empowering consumers to make purchases directly with their crypto balances on Sony Store Online.

To celebrate this launch, Sony Store Online Singapore is offering two exciting promotions for Crypto.com users.

• Tier 1: The first 50 eligible users who spend a minimum of S$300 at Sony Store Online using Crypto.com Pay as the payment method, will receive a free LinkBuds Speaker (worth S$299).
• Tier 2: The first 150 eligible users who spend a minimum of S$100 at Sony Store Online using Crypto.com Pay as the payment method, will receive 20 USDC credited to their Crypto.com account.

Spending S$300 or more allows customers to receive both rewards, subject to availability within the first 50 Tier 1 and first 150 Tier 2 redemptions.

Exclusive offer ends on 30 April 2025 with terms and conditions apply. For more information, visit https://store.sony.com.sg/blogs/promotions/sony-store-online-crypto-campaign.
