A bank-issued stablecoin is now usable in one of the world’s most popular crypto wallets

Millions of MetaMask users can now hold and use a regulated, bank-issued stablecoin without leaving their wallet. The integration of Societe Generale FORGE’s USDCV into MetaMask’s mobile and web platforms allows users to pay gas fees, trade, and access DeFi using a dollar-pegged asset backed by cash and overseen under Europe’s MiCA regulatory framework. USDCV, or USD CoinVertible, is fully redeemable for U.S. dollars and represents a direct bridge between traditional banking and Web3 infrastructure. The move eliminates friction for new users: through a built-in Transak fiat on-ramp, individuals can convert regular currency directly into USDCV. By embedding a regulated financial product into a leading self-custody wallet, Societe Generale FORGE and Consensys have made it possible to use a bank-issued digital dollar as seamlessly as any native crypto asset. That capability marks a functional convergence of traditional finance and decentralized applications at the user level.
