The Euro Leaves the Bank; Its Legal Address Does Not

EURCV crossed from an institutional Ethereum contract to four public ledgers. The token moves at network speed, but the promise behind it still points to one French issuer, segregated accounts, compliance checks and a calendar that can be slower than a block.

A bank subsidiary mints a claim

SG-FORGE launched EURCV in April 2023 for institutional clients, then replaced the first Ethereum contract in October. On July 1, 2024 it recast the token under MiCA and removed the blanket whitelist transfer gate.

ACPR licensed SG-FORGE as an electronic-money institution. Under white paper v2.2, one EURCV is a claim against SG-FORGE for one euro, not a Société Générale deposit, share or governance vote.

That distinction matters in insolvency: holders receive a pro-rata exclusive claim on segregated collateral, protected from other SG-FORGE creditors under the cited French framework. They still face issuer and custodian credit, legal and operational risk.

The reserve has a rule and a reporter

Issuance proceeds enter segregated accounts. Every business day, eligible collateral must cover outstanding EURCV; at least 30% must be cash, while the rest may be qualifying liquid low-risk euro securities.

On September 4, 2026, the product page showed 161,288,989.91 EURCV and equal collateral, reported as 100% cash at Société Générale. It is a useful dated snapshot, not a permanent portfolio promise.

SG-FORGE publishes the calculation itself. Hacken reviewed smart-contract code, with findings across Ethereum, Solana and Stellar; those reports do not inspect bank balances. The absence of a linked independent reserve attestation should remain visible beside the “100% backed” headline.

Four ledgers, four intervention levers

Ethereum 0x5F7827FDeb7c20b443265Fc2F40845B715385Ff2 is a UUPS proxy. Its registrar can mint, burn, freeze, wipe and pause; the registrar authorizes an implementation and the technical operator executes the upgrade.

Solana DghpMkatCiUsofbTmid3M3kAbDTPqDwKiYHnudXeGG52 retains one authority as minter, freezer and permanent delegate. XRPL issuer rUNaS5sqRuxZz6V7rBGhoSaZiVYA3ut4UL enables clawback and freeze. Stellar issuer GCEYGIVOLAVBF2TG2RUSGTUJCIN75KEX3NGLMY4VPL4GFE5L355AXW3G requires authorization and retains revocation and clawback.

These powers make legal orders and redemption operational. They also mean self-custody does not guarantee censorship resistance: a private key controls ordinary transfer initiation, while issuer roles can still block, erase or recover balances under the published rules.

One euro, after the compliance clock

EEA-resident permitted holders may email SG-FORGE for redemption. Receipt should be confirmed within five business days; after KYC/AML, sanctions, eligibility and token-delivery checks, cash can arrive as late as the last business day of the following month.

Bitstamp was the sole preferred partner named for Ethereum in v2.2. Using a partner adds temporary counterparty exposure and can freeze the tokens during processing. No routine issuer redemption fee is stated, though network, trading or partner costs can exist.

MiCA recovery options can add liquidity fees, daily limits or a temporary suspension. SG-FORGE can also trigger a full unwind with at least 90 days notice. “Redeemable at par” is a legal right with conditions and recovery procedures, not a promise that every wallet receives instant cash.

White paper v2.2 contains an apparent USDCV copy error inside one EURCV redemption instruction, while surrounding provisions repeatedly require euro payment. It does not erase the EURCV right, but it is another reason to retain the exact version and request written instructions before transferring tokens.

Evidence and primary sources

Last evidence review: 2026-09-05

What is EUR CoinVertible?

EUR CoinVertible (EURCV) is a euro-denominated electronic-money token issued by Société Générale-FORGE, a regulated Société Générale subsidiary. It is designed to represent one euro per token on public blockchains rather than to function as a governance or yield token. The issuer’s current page describes EURCV as a regulated EMT with 1:1 collateral and a direct or partner-mediated redemption process.

The project began on Ethereum in April 2023 for institutional clients. In July 2024, SG-FORGE restructured EURCV for MiCA EMT compliance and removed the original whitelist transfer restriction. The October 2025 iXBRL white paper lists identifiers for Ethereum, Solana, XRPL and Stellar. Listing four networks in one document does not establish simultaneous deployment: the product page still says “Stellar coming soon,” but SG-FORGE announced that EURCV was live on Stellar on March 10, 2026, following Ethereum, Solana and XRPL.

What problem does EUR CoinVertible solve?

EURCV addresses an institutional settlement problem: moving euro-denominated value through public blockchain rails while retaining an issuer, collateral and compliance framework familiar to financial institutions. The original product was aimed at Societe Generale’s institutional clients; the July 2024 update was explicitly intended to broaden transferability and distribution.

It does not remove conventional financial and legal dependencies. Direct issuance and redemption require onboarding and controls, EEA par redemption is subject to KYC/AML, permitted-transferee and sanctions checks, and secondary-market liquidity depends on exchanges, brokers and market makers. The token therefore connects blockchain transferability with a centralized regulated issuer rather than replacing that issuer.

How does EUR CoinVertible work?

SG-FORGE issues EURCV at a nominal value of one euro. The white paper says there is no fixed issuance cap: the issuer can create further fungible tokens, and minting and burning can only be performed by the issuer through the EURCV smart contract. Issuance proceeds are placed into segregated account(s); the documented collateral test targets collateral value at least equal to outstanding EURCV and at least 30% of required collateral in cash.

On Ethereum, EURCV uses the ERC-20 standard and the published contract has 18 decimals. Etherscan identifies the deployed address as an ERC1967Proxy with a verified implementation, so the proxy architecture is an explicit upgrade/control consideration rather than evidence of decentralized governance. Holders can transfer tokens with their private keys, but the white paper reserves issuer authority to blacklist addresses and freeze associated EURCV where it suspects violations or illegal activity, and legal or regulatory events can trigger redemption or recovery procedures.

The multichain label hides four control systems. Ethereum is an upgradeable proxy with registrar, operations and technical roles; on September 5, 2026 it was unpaused and had no next implementation staged. Solana retains mint, freeze, permanent-delegate, close and metadata authorities. XRPL allows issuer clawback and freeze, while Stellar requires issuer authorization and enables revocation and clawback. Free transferability therefore means the old universal whitelist gate was removed, not that the issuer became unable to intervene.

The September 4, 2026 product snapshot reported 161,288,989.91 EURCV and the same euro collateral amount, held 100% at Société Générale. Policy permits eligible cash and highly liquid euro securities with at least 30% cash. The page is issuer-published daily disclosure; Hacken reports are code audits and do not independently attest reserves.

Frequently asked questions

Is EURCV bank money or a bank deposit?

It is an electronic-money token and a claim against SG-FORGE. The reserve sits in segregated accounts, but the token is not a deposit account or equity in Société Générale.

Who can redeem one EURCV for one euro?

An EEA-resident permitted transferee may request par redemption from SG-FORGE after KYC/AML and sanctions checks. Bitstamp was the listed preferred partner for Ethereum in white paper v2.2.

Is redemption instant and free?

No routine issuer fee is published, but receipt confirmation can take five business days and payment after checks may run to the last business day of the following month. Chain, venue or partner fees may apply.

What backs EURCV?

Eligible collateral in segregated accounts must at least equal outstanding EURCV, with at least 30% cash. On 2026-09-04 the issuer reported 100% cash at Société Générale.

Can SG-FORGE freeze or take tokens?

Yes under documented conditions. Ethereum supports freeze and wipe; Solana has freeze and permanent-delegate authority; XRPL and Stellar enable issuer clawback, with Stellar authorization controls.

Can the contracts be upgraded?

Ethereum is UUPS-upgradeable through registrar authorization and technical execution. Other ledgers use their own issuer-authority models, so each must be reviewed separately.

Did an audit prove the euro reserves?

No. Hacken audited smart-contract code. The daily collateral page and calculation are issuer disclosures; no independent reserve attestation was linked in the reviewed material.

Does EURCV pay interest or confer voting rights?

No. The white paper excludes interest and distributions, and EURCV provides no protocol governance or corporate ownership.
