Societe Generale-FORGE (SG-FORGE) and Austria-based cryptocurrency exchange Bitpanda are deepening their partnership to bring regulated stablecoins to the decentralized finance (DeFi) space.
Bitpanda will now offer the bank’s EURCV$1.1555 and USD CoinVertible (USDCV) directly to retail users across Europe through its platform and DeFi wallet.
This move makes Bitpanda the first retail broker in Europe to enable customers to earn returns on the CoinVertible stablecoins. Users can lend and borrow against these assets within supported onchain protocols, such as Morpho and Uniswap.
Jean-Marc Stenger, CEO of SG-FORGE, said the partnership marks a “decisive step forward” in bringing regulated assets to DeFi. The CoinVertible tokens, both of which comply with the EU’s MiCA framework, are designed to provide bank-level stability in blockchain environments that often rely on unregulated alternatives.
For Bitpanda, the partnership marks another step toward bridging traditional finance with Web3. Co-CEO Lukas Enzersdorfer-Konrad said the integration creates “real ways for people to benefit from Web3,” pointing to future work around the Vision token and the planned Vision Chain.
Since 2024, the two companies have been working to make stablecoins more accessible under European regulations. Their continued collaboration signals growing confidence that compatible digital assets can play a lasting role in decentralized markets.
