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 and USD CoinVertible (USDCV) directly to retail users across Europe through its DeFi platform and wallet.
The move makes Bitpanda the first retail broker in Europe to allow customers to earn returns on CoinVertible stablecoins. Users will be able to lend and borrow against these assets within supported on-chain protocols such as Morpho and Uniswap.
Jean-Marc Stenger, CEO of SG-FORGE, said the collaboration marks a “decisive step forward” in bringing regulated assets to DeFi. CoinVertible tokens, both compatible with the EU MiCA framework, are designed to provide bank-grade stability in blockchain environments that often rely on unregulated alternatives.
For Bitpanda, the partnership represents another step towards uniting traditional finance with Web3. Co-CEO Lukas Enzersdorfer-Konrad said the integration “creates real ways people can 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 regulation. Their continued cooperation indicates growing confidence that compliant digital assets can find a lasting role in decentralized markets.
