France’s Societe Generale Enters USD Stablecoin Market With USDCV

SG Forge, the crypto division of French banking giant Societe Generale, is set to enter the dollar-backed stablecoin race with USD CoinVertible (USDCV). The launch comes on the heels of its successful MiCA-compliant euro stablecoin, EUR CoinVertible (EURCV).

According to reports, USDCV will be deployed on both the Ethereum and Solana blockchains, offering fast and scalable transactions. While the exact launch date hasn’t been confirmed, insiders suggest an early July 2025 rollout.
