Top-10 European Bank Picks XRP Ledger For MiCA-Ready Stablecoin

Trusted Editorial content, reviewed by leading industry experts and seasoned editors. Ad Disclosure Societe Generale’s digital-asset arm SG-FORGE has launched its euro stablecoin, EUR CoinVertible, on the XRP Ledger, extending a deployment that already spans Ethereum and Solana and putting another bank-issued, compliance-forward asset into the XRPL ecosystem.

Cassie Craddock, Ripple’s UK & Europe managing director, celebrated the go-live in a post that leaned heavily on the “institutional” framing. “Delighted that EUR CoinVertible is live on the XRP Ledger! A win for the ecosystem. Proud to have Ripple’s custody tech powering this milestone,” she wrote.

XRP Ledger Lands Major TradFi Win

In its February 18, 2026 press release, SG-FORGE described the XRPL integration as part of a “multi-chain deployment strategy,” explicitly positioning the ledger alongside Ethereum and Solana rather than as a one-off experiment. The firm said it expects the move to “increase adoption” by tapping XRPL’s scalability, speed, and low costs on what it called a “secure and decentralized Layer 1 blockchain.”

In parallel messaging shared on social channels, SG-FORGE framed the choice in plain infrastructure terms, performance, cost, and architecture, rather than community affinity or token narratives.

Ripple’s involvement is not merely promotional. SG-FORGE said the XRPL launch is “supported by Ripple’s custody solution,” and it flagged follow-on paths that sound tailored to professional trading and treasury workflows: potential integration into Ripple’s product suite and use of EUR CoinVertible as trading collateral.

Craddock echoed that institutional positioning in the release itself, describing SG-FORGE as “a pioneer… market-leading crypto-assets offering.” She added: “Ripple is proud to have played a part… providing proven and trusted technology.”

One Ripple employee, Luke Judges, wrote that the partnership is real and added: “A top 10 European bank with $1.8TN in assets does not follow XRP ledger community norms or niceties and has their own compliance reqs & timescale for announcements.”

For SG-FORGE, the XRPL rollout also reads like a delivered roadmap item. Back in November 2024, the firm publicly signaled its intent to deploy its MiCA-aligned euro stablecoin on XRPL to broaden adoption, language that closely matches the rationale in today’s announcement.

Jean-Marc Stenger, CEO of SG-FORGE, framed the XRPL go-live as a continuation of that regulated product push. “The successful launch of EUR CoinVertible on the XRP Ledger is a new step. We look forward to further innovation and expanding the reach,” he said.

At press time, XRP traded at $1.42.
