As crypto rules coalesce around the globe, pressure is mounting on banks to take part in the integration of fiat-pegged stablecoins into mainstream finance (TradFi). SocGen, something of a stablecoin pioneer with its euro-backed EURCV token, says it is the first global banking group to issue a public stablecoin tied to the U.S. dollar.
The involvement of BNY Mellon enables seamless integration between traditional and digital financial ecosystems, SG Forge said in a press release.
“After the release of a MiCA-compliant EUR stablecoin (EURCV), the launch of a U.S. dollar version was the obvious next step for Societe Generale–FORGE as market adoption of stablecoins is growing exponentially,” SG Forge CEO Jean-Marc Stenger said in the statement, referring to the European Union's Markets in Crypto Assets regulations.
Stablecoins, digital tokens whose value is pegged to a real-world asset, are used extensively for crypto trading and other applications. The market is dominated by Tether's USDT, with a market cap of about $155 billion, according to CoinDesk data. USDC, issued by Circle (CRCL), is No. 2 with a market cap of $60 billion.
“The stablecoin market remains largely U.S. dollar denominated. This new currency will enable our clients, either institutions, corporates or retail investors, to leverage the benefits of an institutional-grade stablecoin,” he said in a statement.
USD CoinVertible and EUR CoinVertible are designed to support a wide range of client activities, the bank said, including crypto trading and cross-border payments, on-chain settlement, foreign exchange transactions and collateral and cash management.
Neither USD CoinVertible nor EUR CoinVertible are available to "U.S. Persons," SG Forge said.
