SG-FORGE, a licensed digital asset service provider (DASP) under the supervision of the Autorité des Marchés Financiers (AMF), has positioned EURCV as a stablecoin of choice for a range of financial applications. By listing it on Bitstamp, the company aims to broaden access to EURCV, catering to the growing demand for a stable and trustworthy digital asset in the crypto market, according to an announcement on Wednesday.
