Frequently Asked Questions
What stablecoin does Societe Generale-FORGE issue?

Is EURCV MiCA compliant?
SG-FORGE states that EUR CoinVertible has been fully compliant since the inception of MiCA stablecoin regulation on 1 July 2024. In July 2024, SG-FORGE said it had restructured EURCV to meet MiCA requirements and support free transferability without whitelisting restrictions.
How is EURCV backed?
Public market descriptions state that EURCV is fully backed on a one-to-one basis by reserves consisting of bank deposits and high-quality liquid assets. SG-FORGE describes CoinVertible tokens as redeemable 1:1 through SG-FORGE or preferred partners, subject to the relevant white papers.
What chains is EURCV available on?
EURCV was originally launched on Ethereum in 2023, and public venue disclosures later described deployments on Solana and XRP Ledger. For production use, SG-FORGE's own white papers and contract-address publications should be treated as the controlling source.
