The French banking group has expanded its euro stablecoin EURCV to the XRP Ledger

According to Cointelegraph, the digital asset division of the French banking group Societe Generale, SG-FORGE, has expanded its euro-pegged stablecoin EUR CoinVertible (EURCV) to the XRP Ledger. This makes it the third blockchain deployment for the token, following Ethereum and Solana, utilizing Ripple's custody infrastructure and potentially integrating into Ripple products as collateral for trading.

The stablecoin is backed 1:1 by bank cash deposits or high-quality securities, with a current circulation of approximately 70.51 million tokens. It aims to enhance institutional access to euro-backed tokens and comply with the EU's MiCA regulations. This move stems from SWIFT's pilot testing of EUR CoinVertible for tokenized bond exchanges and settlements, promoting the development of euro stablecoins to counter the dominance of the dollar.
