What to know:

  • Societe Generale’s digital assets unit has launched its euro stablecoin, EUR CoinVertible, on the XRP Ledger, expanding beyond its existing integrations on Ethereum and Solana.
  • EUR CoinVertible is issued under French digital asset regulations, backed one-to-one by cash or high-quality securities, and has a circulating supply of about €65.8 million, making it one of the larger euro stablecoins after Circle’s EURC.
  • SG-FORGE cited the XRP Ledger’s low costs and fast settlement and will use Ripple’s custody infrastructure, bolstering XRPL’s bid to be a compliant platform for tokenized finance as it rolls out features like a permissioned DEX for regulated institutions.

Societe Generale’s digital assets arm SG-FORGE has deployed its euro stablecoin, EUR CoinVertible, on the XRP Ledger, expanding beyond its existing integrations on Ethereum and Solana as competition heats up in Europe’s regulated stablecoin race.

EUR CoinVertible is issued under French digital asset rules and is backed 1 to 1 by cash deposits or high-quality securities. It has a circulating supply of roughly 65.8 million euros, per CoinGecko, making it one of the larger euro stablecoins in the market behind Circle’s EURC.

SG-FORGE said it chose the XRP Ledger for its low transaction costs and fast settlement, while Ripple’s custody infrastructure will be used to support the rollout. The stablecoin could eventually be explored as collateral for trading or integrated into Ripple’s payment-related products.

For XRPL, the listing is another institutional credibility win as the network positions itself as a compliant venue for tokenized finance. The launch lands just as XRPL validators have been voting on new upgrades such as Permissioned DEX, a feature meant to allow controlled trading environments where only approved participants can interact, a requirement for many regulated firms.

The stablecoin push also comes as blockchains compete to host tokenized deposits, bonds and settlement assets. For XRP itself, the news is more structural than price-driving, but it adds to the narrative that XRPL is trying to be more than a payments chain.

House Judiciary Rejects Vote To Subpoena Banks CEOs For Epstein Case

The post House Judiciary Rejects Vote To Subpoena Banks CEOs For Epstein Case appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Topline House Judiciary Committee Republicans blocked a Democrat effort Wednesday to subpoena a group of major banks as part of a renewed investigation into late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein’s financial ties. Congressman Jim Jordan, R-OH, is the chairman of the committee. (Photo by Nathan Posner/Anadolu via Getty Images) Anadolu via Getty Images Key Facts A near party-line vote squashed the effort to vote on a subpoena, with Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., who is leading a separate effort to force the Justice Department to release more Epstein case materials, voting alongside Democrats. The vote, if successful, would have resulted in the issuing of subpoenas to JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon, Bank of America CEO Brian Moynihan, Deutsche Bank CEO Christian Sewing and Bank of New York Mellon CEO Robin Vince. The subpoenas would have specifically looked into multiple reports that claimed the four banks flagged $1.5 billion in suspicious transactions linked to Epstein. The failed effort from Democrats followed an FBI oversight hearing in which agency director Kash Patel misleadingly claimed the FBI cannot release many of the files it has on Epstein.

Crucial Quote Dimon, who attended a lunch with Senate Republicans before the vote, according to Politico, told reporters, “We regret any association with that man at all. And, of course, if it’s a legal requirement, we would conform to it. We have no issue with that.” Chief Critic “Republicans had the chance to subpoena the CEOs of JPMorgan, Bank of America, Deutsche Bank, and Bank of New York Mellon to expose Epstein’s money trail,” the House Judiciary Democrats said in a tweet. “Instead, they tried to bury…
