Sony is set to launch a new cryptocurrency exchange subsidiary by overhauling the local trading platform WhaleFin, which it acquired last year.
This news was announced in a press release on PR Times.
WhaleFin has been rebranded to S.BLOX Co. and plans to collaborate with other Sony Group businesses to enhance the value of its crypto trading services.
The revamp will include a redesigned user interface and a new, more user-friendly mobile app. However, the exact launch date for the S.BLOX crypto exchange has not been disclosed.
