Guillaume Chatain, Chief Revenue Officer at Société Générale Forge, joins Nick Ducoff, Head of Institutional Growth at the Solana Foundation, to discuss the rationale behind launching a Euro stablecoin on Solana, the impact of MiCA regulation, and the future of on-chain finance.

5 Key Takeaways:
- Multi-Chain Future: Société Générale Forge embraces a multi-chain strategy, recognizing the need to meet liquidity where it exists. Solana's low latency, high throughput, and low cost make it an ideal platform for EurocCV.
- MiCA: Clarity and Challenges: Guillaume acknowledges the benefits of MiCA regulation in providing a clear framework for stablecoin issuers but also highlights the challenges posed by overregulation and restrictions on yield-bearing stablecoins.
- Targeting Real-World Use Cases: Société Générale Forge prioritizes use cases such as cross-border payments, on-chain settlement for tokenized assets, and bridging the gap between traditional finance and DeFi.
- The Importance of a Strong Network: Guillaume emphasizes the value of Solana's supportive ecosystem and the role of the Solana Foundation in facilitating connections and partnerships.
- Banks are Here to Stay: He believes that institutional adoption of digital assets is inevitable and that banks like Société Générale are well-positioned to lead the way in offering regulated and compliant solutions.
