Societe Generale’s SG‑FORGe and Swift Complete Pilot Settling Tokenized Bonds With Euro Stablecoin and Fiat

Swift positions itself as a neutral coordinator for interoperable digital‑asset settlement.

Overview

  • SG‑FORGe and Swift executed end‑to‑end workflows for tokenized bonds, covering issuance, delivery‑versus‑payment, coupon payments, and redemption.
  • EUR CoinVertible (eURCV) served as the MiCA‑compliant euro settlement asset alongside fiat, integrated through ISO 20022 messaging.
  • Swift orchestrated transactions across blockchain platforms and existing systems to let banks use familiar operations without new blockchain plumbing.
  • BNP Paribas Securities Services and Intesa Sanpaolo participated as paying agents and custodians, demonstrating standard roles for tokenized securities.
  • Swift says lessons from these trials feed into a planned blockchain‑based shared ledger with 30+ banks and proposed market practice guidelines for scale.
