BCB Markets, the trading arm of crypto payments firm BCB Group, has inked an agreement with Societe Generale–FORGE to distribute EURCoinVertible (EURCV), a euro-linked stablecoin developed by the French banking giant’s digital asset subsidiary, the company said in a press release on Tuesday.

The move marks another step toward broader adoption of fiat-linked digital assets, as institutions look for stablecoin alternatives beyond the U.S. dollar.

Launched in April 2023, EURCV is among the first stablecoins to comply with the European Union’s Markets in Crypto Assets (MiCA) framework, which came into effect this year, BCB said.

Backed by cash reserves and pegged to the euro, EURCV is intended for institutional use and aims to bring stability and regulatory clarity to the stablecoin space in Europe.

“The stablecoin market is dominated by dollar-pegged coins, which is useful for many, but we believe the euro deserves a native, regulated digital representation,” said Jerome Prigent, managing director of BCB Europe, in the release.

BCB said the partnership would allow its clients, ranging from crypto-native firms to traditional financial institutions, to leverage EURCV for faster and cheaper transactions, particularly in cross-border payments.

Prigent noted that the appeal of euro-denominated stablecoins could stretch beyond the continent, as businesses in emerging markets across the Middle East, Africa and Latin America are actively exploring alternatives to U.S. dollar-linked tokens for remittances and trade.

Euro-denominated stablecoins can reduce the cost of cross-border money transfers by as much as 80%, without the need to route payments through the dollar, Prigent added.

“The collaboration with BCB Markets supports the EURCV stablecoin expansion as an effective means of payment across various geographies and use cases,” Jean-Marc Stenger, CEO of Societe Generale–FORGE, said in the release.

The announcement comes as regulated stablecoins gain momentum in Europe under MiCA, which sets new standards for transparency, reserve management, and licensing for issuers.

$4,750,000 Guaranteed Income Program To Distribute Cash to Citizens Across One US State https://earlybirdsinvest.com/4750000-guaranteed-income-program-to-distribute-cash-to-citizens-across-one-us-state/ https://earlybirdsinvest.com/4750000-guaranteed-income-program-to-distribute-cash-to-citizens-across-one-us-state/#respond Sat, 22 Mar 2025 17:33:36 +0000 https://earlybirdsinvest.com/4750000-guaranteed-income-program-to-distribute-cash-to-citizens-across-one-us-state/

A multi-million dollar guaranteed income pilot program is preparing for launch after a US state’s executive and legislative branches gave the green light.

The new initiative is designed to help citizens living in the low-income bracket in California.

The program, tentatively known as “Guaranteed Income Older Adults,” will target individuals who are 60 years of age or older residing in the state, and who are either eligible for or receiving a means-tested benefit of some kind from the government.

The California Department of Social Services (CDSS) says the total funding for the pilot program, which is catered for in California’s budget for the 2024/2025 fiscal year, will be $4.75 million.

Amid plans to roll out the guaranteed income pilot program, the CDSS says it held community listening sessions last year.

Some of the recommendations received include setting a minimum payment of $500 per month for at least half a year.

The CDSS says the minimum number of participants recommended for the pilot program was 200. A recommendation was also made to give the participants liberty to decide whether they want recurring payments, in a lump sum or a combination of both.

Ahead of the rollout of the Guaranteed Income Older Adults pilot program, the CDSS is now seeking a public or private nonprofit organization to run the project for three and a half years.

Those applications must be submitted by April 9th and the chosen application will be announced on June 25th.

Die Distribute Konferenz 2019: Industrie-Lösungen im Fokus https://earlybirdsinvest.com/die-distribute-konferenz-2019-industrie-losungen-im-fokus/ https://earlybirdsinvest.com/die-distribute-konferenz-2019-industrie-losungen-im-fokus/#respond Sat, 08 Feb 2025 23:52:09 +0000 https://earlybirdsinvest.com/die-distribute-konferenz-2019-industrie-losungen-im-fokus/

Auch dieses Jahr möchte ich die Distribute-Konferenz in Hamburg nicht unerwähnt lassen, bei der ich endlich zum ersten Mal selbst als Teilnehmer mit dabei sein werde. Die Konferenz findet vom 27. bis 28. Juni in Hamburg statt und ich kann guten Gewissens sagen, dass Hamburg alleine um diese Jahreszeit einen Trip wert ist.

Bildschirmfoto 2019-06-15 um 14.23.13Häufig findet man auf Konferenzen nur Vertreter von ICOs an, die permanent versuchen, das eigene Produkt zu verkaufen. Die Distribute-Konferenz schafft es, sich stark davon abzusetzen. Mit dem Motto „Hands-On Blockchain Konferenz“ lag schon immer der Fokus auf der Anwendung der Blockchain-Technologie. Zwar waren in der Vergangenheit auch Vertreter von einzelnen Blockchains wie Lisk oder Dash unter den Vortragenden, diese sind dieses Jahr im Line-up allerdings nicht mehr zu finden.

Stattdessen schafft es die Distribute wie wohl keine andere Konferenz Vertreter großer Unternehmen anzulocken. Dieses Jahr sind untere anderem BMW, die Commerzbank, die Börse Stuttgart, PwC, die deutsche Bahn und Siemens mit dabei. Mit den Sprechern dieser Unternehmen geht es am 2. Tag der Konferenz dann primär um die Umsetzung von Blockchain-Projekten in den entsprechenden Firmen, wobei der erste Tag eher hinsichtlich der Regulierung der Blockchain-Technologie angelegt ist. Da meistens drei Panels parallel laufen werden, wird es hier gar nicht so einfach sein, alle spannenden Vorträge zu hören.

Tickets gibt es wie immer auf der offiziellen Webseite der Distribute-Konferenz und solltet ihr teilnehmen wollen, empfehle ich die Verwendung des Promo-Codes von BTC-Echo, mit dem es 30% auf den Ticket-Preis gibt (manche Codes geben sonst nur 10%). Übrigens kann man wie jedes Jahr auch Tickets für einzelne Tage erwerben.
