Societe Generale deploys stablecoins on Canton for tokenized finance

Societe Generale said its digital assets subsidiary Societe Generale-FORGE will deploy EUR and USD CoinVertible stablecoins on the Canton Network and support tokenized collateral and repo financing activity on the network.

The Paris-based bank said it plans to use the network for collateral management and short-term financing transactions tied to tokenized assets. It added that Canton’s infrastructure could be used for collateral mobility, margin management and risk management workflows tied to tokenized assets.

SG-FORGE said its EURCV and USDCV stablecoins will be used for settlement, financing and cash management activity on the network in permitted jurisdictions. The stablecoins are restricted to non-US permitted participants and are not registered under the US Securities Act, according to the announcement.

Societe Generale will also participate in the network as a strategic partner and validator. The bank previously issued a tokenized green bond on the Canton Network in November 2025 through SG-FORGE.

SG-FORGE launched its euro-denominated EURCV stablecoin in 2023 and introduced the US dollar-denominated USDCV stablecoin in 2025. Data from DeFiLlama shows EURCV has a market capitalization of about $97 million, while USDCV has roughly $20 million in circulation.

Last month, the bank integrated USDCV into the MetaMask wallet through a partnership with Consensys.

The announcement comes as banks and financial institutions are expanding their use of blockchain-based systems for collateral management, repo financing and stablecoin settlement.

On Tuesday, The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation said it will integrate infrastructure from Chainlink into its collateral management platform ahead of a planned 2026 launch to support tokenized collateral movement, valuation and settlement workflows. DTCC’s subsidiaries processed $4.7 quadrillion in securities transactions in 2025.

Separately, Broadridge Financial Solutions yesterday announced it expanded its infrastructure to support tokenized stocks, funds and money market instruments across trading and post-trade operations. The company said its distributed ledger repo platform tokenizes more than $365 billion in assets daily.
