Boerse Stuttgart Digital adds SocGen’s euro stablecoin

Boerse Stuttgart Digital has integrated Societe Generale-FORGE’s EUR CoinVertible into its trading and custody services, giving institutional clients access to a euro-denominated stablecoin the companies describe as compliant with the EU’s Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation. Boerse Stuttgart Digital said the move marks the first addition of a euro stablecoin issued by a bank subsidiary to its regulated infrastructure.

The arrangement extends Boerse Stuttgart Digital’s institutional digital-asset offering and supports its expansion in Europe, with particular emphasis on France, according to the company. It also broadens a relationship between Boerse Stuttgart Group and Societe Generale that the firms said began more than 20 years ago in traditional capital markets and has since moved into digital assets.

How the integration works

EUR CoinVertible is issued by Societe Generale-FORGE, the digital-asset subsidiary of Societe Generale. A stablecoin is a blockchain-based instrument designed to maintain a stable value against a reference currency, in this case the euro, and can be used for settlement and payments where the receiving infrastructure supports it.

By connecting EUR CoinVertible to its own trading and custody rails, Boerse Stuttgart Digital said it can provide clients with a euro settlement and payment instrument inside a regulated digital-asset environment. The company framed the addition as a different path from crypto platforms that have focused largely on US dollar stablecoins issued by Web3-native companies.

Boerse Stuttgart Digital said the stablecoin’s regulatory status and issuance by a subsidiary of a systemically important European bank were central features of the integration. The company also said the addition reflects its view that regulated financial institutions will play a central role in stablecoin use in Europe.

Earlier work on tokenized settlement

The companies said the latest step follows a test transaction in September 2025, when Societe Generale-FORGE’s EUR CoinVertible was used on Seturion, Boerse Stuttgart Group’s pan-European settlement platform for tokenized securities. Tokenized securities are conventional financial instruments represented on distributed-ledger infrastructure, while settlement refers to the exchange of cash and securities that completes a trade.

The relationship was further developed through a strategic partnership announced in May 2026 involving Seturion, flatexDEGIRO, Societe Generale and SG-FORGE. The companies said that initiative is aimed at supporting pan-European settlement infrastructure for tokenized securities.

Boerse Stuttgart Group said its business in France is built on long-standing work with major banking institutions in structured products and exchange services. The addition of SG-FORGE’s stablecoin extends those ties into digital assets, according to the group.

Institutional focus

Matthias Voelkel, chief executive of Boerse Stuttgart Group, said the partnership expands Boerse Stuttgart Digital’s role in digital assets by bringing SG-FORGE’s euro stablecoin into its ecosystem. He said the firms share an objective of building compliant crypto and digital-asset infrastructure for Europe’s financial market.

Jean-Marc Stenger, chief executive of Societe Generale-FORGE, said the integration supports the adoption of a euro-denominated digital asset backed by established institutions. He said the collaboration strengthens the link between crypto-native users and financial market infrastructure.

Boerse Stuttgart Digital also tied the move to what it called European strategic sovereignty in market infrastructure. Voelkel said euro stablecoins can help Europe develop trusted financial rails rather than relying on non-European alternatives, with banks and regulated institutions expected to lead adoption.
