Societe Generale’s Crypto Arm Forge Unveils Euro Stablecoin

Strategic Advantages of CoinVertible
The Euro-pegged stablecoin, which will trade under the ticker symbol EURCV, will be accessible exclusively to investors who have completed Societe Generale’s Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering procedures. Jean-Marc Stenger, CEO of Forge, emphasized the importance of stablecoins in bolstering trust and confidence in the native crypto ecosystem, stating:
“This issuance is a major step in Societe Generale-FORGE’s roadmap to deliver innovative solutions to its clients, either real-money institutions and corporates or entities of the crypto industry, and to facilitate the emergence of new market infrastructures based on blockchain technology.”
Stablecoins offer additional benefits, such as facilitating the development of innovative solutions for corporate treasury, cash management, and cash pooling activities.
Euro Stablecoin Soon to Hit Exchanges and Platforms
Forge has revealed that the Euro stablecoin, CoinVertible, will be listed on various exchanges and third-party platforms in the coming months. In compliance with significant market regulations, the EUR CoinVertible aligns with CAST—an open-source framework for interoperability and securitization.
Transparency and Security Measures
Forge has pledged to ensure the total separation of assets used to secure the stablecoin’s value from the issuer. Furthermore, Forge will issue daily transparency reports and provide detailed information about collateral positions.
In September 2022, France’s financial markets regulator, the Autorité des Marchés Financiers (AMF), granted authorization for Societe Generale’s crypto division to offer cryptocurrency trading and custody services.
