Societe Generale-FORGE, the digital asset subsidiary of major European bank Societe Generale, has partnered with Consensys to add its USD CoinVertible (USDCV) stablecoin to MetaMask wallet.
G-FORGE announced on Wednesday that the integration aims to expand the use of USDCV across crypto trading, decentralized finance (DeFi), payments, and blockchain transactions.
G-FORGE said USDCV will be listed among a shortlist of stablecoins available inside MetaMask on both its mobile app and website. The company described the integration as a step toward connecting traditional finance with Web3 infrastructure in a more practical way.
USDCV is a stablecoin tied to the U.S. dollar. It was built to follow the European Union’s MiCA, or Markets in Crypto-Assets, crypto rules.
By adding USDCV to MetaMask, Societe Generale-FORGE wants to give users a more secure and clear digital dollar for daily blockchain use. Users can now hold, send, and use USDCV directly in MetaMask in a regulated way.
How MetaMask users can use USDCV
SG-FORGE said the MetaMask integration will support four main functions.
Users can convert fiat currency into USDCV and back again through built-in on-ramp and off-ramp services. They can trade USDCV for other crypto assets on supported platforms.
The stablecoin also works with DeFi. Finally, MetaMask’s Gas Station feature lets users pay blockchain transaction fees using USDCV, removing the need to hold a separate token just for network costs.
Transak, a global provider of crypto payment infrastructure, supports the fiat-to-stablecoin conversion inside MetaMask. This technical backing helps ensure smooth, compliant transactions for users worldwide.
By combining Societe Generale-FORGE’s regulated asset with Consensys’ widely adopted wallet and Transak’s payment rails, the collaboration aims to lower barriers for mainstream adoption of blockchain tools.
Bridging traditional finance and Web3
That wider use is a key part of this update. A stablecoin is more useful when people can actually use it across different crypto activities, not just hold it in a wallet.
By bringing USDCV into MetaMask, SG-FORGE is not just adding another token. It is making the stablecoin usable for payments, trading, and DeFi apps, all in one place inside a widely used self-custody wallet.
Joseph Lubin, co-founder of Ethereum and founder and CEO of Consensys, said the financial system is changing in a big way, especially in how value moves. He said stablecoins are becoming an important link between traditional finance and decentralized networks.
“We’re pleased to collaborate with Societe Generale – FORGE as part of this broader shift. At Consensys, we’re focused on helping steward that shift by building open, global, interoperable infrastructure that expands access, unlocks innovation, and enables more dynamic and user-centric financial experiences,” he added.
Jean-Marc Stenger, CEO of Societe Generale-FORGE, emphasized the strategic value of reaching MetaMask’s large user base.
He said that that placing a European bank-issued stablecoin into a leading Web3 wallet increases the creation of an interoperable financial system.
“We’re helping accelerate the emergence of an interoperable financial system, combining the advantages of blockchain technology with the security and compliance of a European issued asset, supported by a major bank,” Stenger noted.
SG-FORGE expands stablecoin reach
The MetaMask deal also follows SG-FORGE’s wider stablecoin expansion across blockchain networks.
USD CoinVertible is one of two stablecoins from SG-FORGE. The company launched the dollar-backed token in June last year and became one of the first major banks to introduce a USD stablecoin through its crypto unit.
Its other token, EUR CoinVertible, was launched in April 2023 and is tied to the euro. The company extended it to the XRP Ledger in February 2026 and to Stellar in March 2026 as part of its multi-chain strategy.
As of 15 April, SG-FORGE’s website showed 26.34 million USDCV in circulation and 105.86 million euros of EURCV.
SG-FORGE had already made strides in Europe before this MetaMask move.
On 18 November 2025, Deutsche Börse Group, and SG-FORGE announced their plan to integrate the EUR and USD CoinVertible stablecoins into Deutsche Börse’s infrastructure through Clearstream.
Their goal was to make these MiCA-compliant tokens more useful for settlement, collateral, and treasury operations. The latest USDCV integration also comes as MetaMask is widening its own payments push.
MetaMask recently rolled out its Mastercard-backed MetaMask Card across the United States for the first time, covering 49 states, including New York, after two years of testing.
