Societe Generale is launching a dollar-denominated stablecoin called USDCV on Ethereum and Solana blockchains as part of its cryptocurrency subsidiary SG-FORGE.
The stablecoin is fully compliant with the European Union's MiCA regulation, joining EUR CoinVertible, and will be available for trading in early July on various cryptocurrency exchanges.
USDCV is backed by BNY Mellon for cash reserves and aims to cater to various institutional use cases such as crypto trading, cross-border payments, on-chain settlement, FX trading, and collateral for lending.
Societe Generale's launch of USDCV positions it as one of the first major European banks offering regulated stablecoin products across different blockchains, providing clients with flexibility in major reserve currencies.
