Societe Generale-FORGE (SG-FORGE) and Austrian cryptocurrency platform Bitpanda are significantly expanding their strategic partnership to integrate regulated stablecoins into decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystems.
Bitpanda now enables direct access to SG-FORGE's EUR CoinVertible (EURCV) and USD CoinVertible (USDCV) stablecoins for retail investors across European markets through its trading platform and integrated DeFi wallet.
This development establishes Bitpanda as Europe's pioneering retail brokerage to offer yield-earning opportunities on CoinVertible stablecoins. Users can participate in lending and borrowing activities using these regulated assets through supported blockchain protocols including Morpho and Uniswap.
Jean-Marc Stenger, CEO of SG-FORGE, described the collaboration as a "decisive step forward" in introducing regulated financial instruments to DeFi environments. The MiCA-compliant CoinVertible tokens are engineered to deliver institutional-grade stability within blockchain ecosystems that traditionally depend on unregulated alternatives.
For Bitpanda, this enhanced partnership accelerates the convergence between traditional finance and Web3 infrastructure. Co-CEO Lukas Enzersdorfer-Konrad emphasized the integration "creates tangible Web3 benefits for users," highlighting upcoming developments involving the Vision token and proposed Vision Chain.
The ongoing collaboration since 2024 demonstrates both organizations' commitment to increasing regulated stablecoin accessibility under European frameworks, signaling strong market confidence in compliant digital assets' long-term viability within decentralized financial markets.
