Societe Generale Bets Big on Stablecoins, USD and Crypto Collide!

Well, folks, the French aren’t just about wine and fancy cheeses anymore. Societe Generale-Forge, the crypto wing of one of France’s top three banks (and yes, I can already hear you sighing about “banks in crypto”), has decided to throw its hat in the ring and introduce a shiny new USD-pegged stablecoin.

And, of course, it’s not just any stablecoin – it’s made for the big leagues, running on both Ethereum and Solana. Talk about trying to please everyone in the crypto world, huh? 🙄

And in case you’re wondering how we trust this thing, BNY Mellon will step in as the asset custodian. Yeah, sure, that sounds reassuring, like asking your grandma to guard your secret stash of cookies. But hey, they’ve got it covered, or at least they say they do.
