LeverageShares to Launch 3x Long/Short Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF in Europe

On February 19, Cointelegraph reported that Societe Generale’s digital asset arm SG-FORGE has expanded its euro-backed stablecoin EUR CoinVertible (EURCV) to the XRP Ledger—marking the third blockchain deployment for the token after Ethereum and Solana. This rollout taps Ripple’s custodial infrastructure and could be integrated into Ripple’s products as transaction collateral. Backed 1:1 by bank cash deposits or high-quality securities, EURCV has a circulating supply of roughly 70.51 million tokens. It aims to boost institutional access to euro-backed stablecoins and comply with the EU’s MiCA regulation. The move follows SWIFT’s pilot testing of EURCV for tokenized bond exchange and settlement, part of broader efforts to advance euro stablecoin development and push back against U.S. dollar dominance.
