Societe Generale today announced it is accelerating the development of institutional blockchain-based financial infrastructure on the Canton Network, with a focus on tokenized collateral, on-chain financing and institutional-grade digital settlement solutions, powered by its digital-assets subsidiary Societe Generale-FORGE (SG-FORGE).<\/p>\n
This initiative builds on Societe Generale\u2019s pioneering work on Canton, including its first U.S. tokenized bond issuance completed in November 2025, and reflects the bank\u2019s continued commitment to scaling regulated on-chain capital markets.<\/p>\n
Societe Generale aims to be among the first banks to develop collateral and financing solutions in tokenized form on Canton, addressing growing institutional demand for more efficient, secure and compliant market infrastructure.<\/p>\n
In addition, SG-FORGE will deploy its institutional-grade CoinVertible stablecoins on Canton, providing a regulated digital settlement solution designed to support collateral mobility, financing activity and cash management across tokenized markets in permitted jurisdictions.<\/p>\n
Societe Generale joins the Canton Network as an Ecosystem Super Validator, underscoring its strong commitment to contributing to the development of institutional-grade use cases across collateral mobility, margin management, repo financing and tokenized settlement.<\/p>\n
Societe Generale plans to execute several initiatives on Canton:<\/p>\n
Accept certain tokenized assets as eligible collateral to enhance collateral mobility, liquidity and operational efficiency for institutional clients.
\nAct as counterparty in repo transactions supporting the development of institutional on-chain financing markets. These initiatives are expected to bring meaningful additional activity to the network and support a new phase of institutional growth on Canton.
\nDeploy SG-FORGE\u2019s regulated stablecoins, USD and EUR CoinVertible, supporting growing institutional business opportunities on the network, and powering Societe Generale\u2019s tokenized assets initiatives.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis initiative directly responds to growing institutional demand within the Prime Services environment, which is at the core of our franchise,\u201d said Salim Nemouchi, Head of Equity Derivatives Americas and Global Head of Prime Services at Societe Generale. \u201cWe are convinced that a public blockchain with configurable privacy, such as Canton Network, provides the right framework to bring greater efficiency to margin calls, collateral management and risk management. Innovating for our clients is part of Societe Generale\u2019s DNA.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBringing our regulated stablecoins to the Canton Network represents a major milestone in advancing institutional tokenized finance,\u201d said Jean-Marc Stenger, CEO of Societe Generale-FORGE. \u201cBy enabling secure, compliant, and efficient digital settlement, SG\u00a0FORGE is helping bridge traditional financial markets with on\u00a0chain infrastructure and unlocking new possibilities for collateral mobility, financing and cash management. We are committed to supporting our clients as these markets scale.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWelcoming Societe Generale as a strategic partner and Super Validator underscores the continued momentum of Canton as the network of choice for institutional finance,\u201d said Viv Diwakar, Head of the Canton Foundation. \u201cSociete Generale\u2019s leadership in tokenized assets, collateral innovation and on-chain repo markets highlights the growing convergence between traditional finance and blockchain-based infrastructure.\u201d<\/p>\n
