Société Générale Partners with Bitpanda to Launch Euro Stablecoin
Global banking giant Société Générale has formed a strategic partnership with Bitpanda to further integrate cryptocurrencies and stablecoins into the global financial system.
Bitpanda will collaborate with Société Générale’s blockchain subsidiary, Societe Generale-FORGE, to promote the use of its euro-denominated stablecoin, EUR CoinVertible (EURCV).
According to Jean-Marc Stenger, CEO of Societe Generale-FORGE, this collaboration is a major step toward embedding stablecoins into mainstream finance. He expressed confidence in the partnership’s potential to provide European users with a secure and accessible digital currency.
The announcement comes just ahead of the upcoming Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulatory framework, which is set to be fully implemented by December 30. This regulatory structure is expected to bring significant changes to the crypto industry in Europe, affecting service providers and stablecoin issuers.

Lukas Enzersdorfer-Konrad, Bitpanda’s Deputy CEO, emphasized the importance of euro-based stablecoins in the future of European crypto, highlighting their role in bridging traditional finance and digital assets. The listing of Société Générale’s MiCA-compliant stablecoin on Bitpanda’s platform is expected to attract more European investors to the space.
Société Générale, one of the world’s largest banks, is positioning itself to play a significant role in the regulated digital asset market as MiCA regulations are set to reshape the landscape. However, experts like Hedi Navazan, head of compliance at Crystal Intelligence, warn that the technical complexities of the bill could result in delays, making international cooperation crucial for its successful implementation.
