Société Générale taps Bullish to debut MiCA-licensed USDCV stablecoin
Bullish Europe has become the first platform to list Société Générale-Forge's USDCV stablecoin, enhancing access to regulated digital assets in the EU. Bullish's platform, regulated by the German Federal Financial Supervisory Authority, will offer the USD Coin Vertible (USDCV) to its customers. The new stablecoin aims to cater to both retail and institutional users for purposes such as remittances and payments. USDCV, along with EURCV, qualifies as an e-money token under the EU's Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA). This follows Société Générale-Forge securing an electronic money institution license from the French regulator. Although Europe is increasing its stablecoin initiatives, concerns exist regarding those issued outside the region, as noted by European Central Bank officials, who warned about potential instability and regulatory challenges posed by US stablecoins. The growing popularity of US stablecoins within Europe has prompted discussions about the need for a cohesive regulatory approach to mitigate risks.
