Société Générale Brings EURCV Stablecoin to MetaMask

Société Générale has integrated its EUR-backed stablecoin, EURCV, into the MetaMask wallet interface. This move aligns the bank's digital asset strategy with the full implementation of the European Union’s Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation.

Institutional Infrastructure Meets Retail Access

The integration allows users to hold and interact with EURCV directly within the most widely used self-custody wallet, effectively bridging the gap between legacy banking rails and decentralized finance. By choosing MetaMask, the bank is positioning itself to capture liquidity from the retail and institutional segments that already rely on Ethereum-based protocols for non-custodial asset management. This is a clear play for distribution, moving the asset beyond private institutional channels and into the broader Ethereum (ETH) profile ecosystem.

The MiCA Compliance Catalyst

MiCA has created a rigorous framework for stablecoin issuers in Europe, mandating strict capital reserves and operational transparency. Société Générale’s decision to move now suggests the bank views the regulatory clarity provided by the EU as a competitive advantage rather than a barrier. While many international issuers have historically struggled with European regulatory uncertainty, the bank is using its status as a licensed financial institution to provide a compliant alternative to dollar-pegged assets that currently dominate the market.

"The integration of our stablecoin into MetaMask demonstrates our commitment to bridging the gap between traditional banking and the digital asset space under a clear regulatory framework," said a spokesperson for Société Générale-FORGE.
