Summary

Societe Generale-FORGE officially announced that it has chosen Bullish’s European arm as the first venue to list its USD CoinVertible (USDCV) stablecoin. The bank’s digital asset subsidiary introduced USDCV on Ethereum and Solana in June 2024. While the stablecoin is regulated under Europe’s Markets in Crypto-Assets regulation (MiCA), U.S. residents cannot yet access it due to pending regulatory clarity following the GENIUS Act. CEO Jean-Marc Stenger emphasized that SG Forge will restrict availability to non-U.S. investors until new U.S. rules are finalized. Meanwhile, SG Forge’s euro-denominated stablecoin (EURCV) records approximately €40 million in daily turnover. The number of exchanges and brokers onboarded to directly mint and burn SG Forge’s stablecoins continues to grow, with 10–15 more exchanges awaiting approval.
