Societe Generale, a huge player in mainstream finance, has announced a strategic partnership with Bitpanda.
The goal is to promote the use of cryptocurrencies and stablecoins as key parts of the global financial ecosystem.

The collaboration will see Bitpanda work alongside Societe Generale’s blockchain arm, Societe Generale-FORGE. Both parties will help push for wider use of Societe’s euro-stablecoin, EUR CoinVertible (EURCV).
According to Jean-Mark Stenger, CEO of Societe Generale-FORGE, this partnership marks an important milestone in making stablecoins a major player in traditional finance.

Similarly, Lukas Enzersdorfer-Konrad, Bitpanda’s Deputy CEO, believes the partnership is timely. Enzersdorfer-Konrad expects euro-based stablecoins to be important for the European crypto market moving forward.
He further explained that fully regulated stablecoins can bridge the old and new financial systems, helping the integration process. Through this partnership, Bitpanda and Societe Generale aim to bring that vision closer to reality.
Stablecoins are in High Demand
Stablecoins are increasingly becoming the entry point for investors looking to transition from fiat currencies to digital assets. A euro-based stablecoin like EURCV compliant with MiCA is expected to attract more institutional and retail investors to the crypto space. Once listed on Bitpanda’s platform, EURCV will provide European investors with a stable and regulated digital currency for trading.
