Startale Group has just announced the completion of a $63 million funding round, with SBI and Sony each investing $50 million and $13 million respectively. The funds are mainly used to expand their crypto infrastructure, including Layer 2 networks, stablecoins, and tokenized assets.

Speaking of Startale, this Singapore-based company actually has a pretty strong background. They operate Soneium, a Layer 2 network, together with Sony, and also manage Astar Network. The entire ecosystem spans from infrastructure to consumer applications, and they are also working on stablecoins (Startale USD, JPYSC) and RWA (Real-World Assets). With major backers like Sony and SBI, Startale’s position in Japan’s crypto ecosystem is quite solid, and they are now expanding globally.

Recently, they also launched an interactive event from March 23 to April 3. The participation process is quite simple: visit the official website, log in with an invitation code (CMPRFS46, QSQREF49, or TGIAHX63—choose one), and connect your Web3 wallet. Then, you can complete several tasks: daily sign-in to say "GM" for rewards, exchange USDC for STAR points, or deposit USDC into the treasury to earn an annualized yield of 7.42%, with additional rewards for providing liquidity (LP). Depositing for more than 60 days also grants extra bonuses.

During the event, there’s also a "Easter Egg" surprise segment. Completing tasks allows you to open eggs, with a chance to win STAR points and USDC rewards. This kind of interactive engagement in the crypto ecosystem is becoming more common, and Startale’s design this time looks quite comprehensive—covering infrastructure, applications, and incentives—aimed at encouraging more people to participate and experience their ecosystem.
