Verge Currency ($XVG) Is Different:

A Time-Tested Cryptocurrency Built for Real-World Use

In a market crowded with thousands of cryptocurrencies — many of which appear and disappear within a single cycle — Verge Currency ($XVG) stands apart through longevity, transparency, and consistency.

Launched in 2014, Verge is not only one of the longest-running cryptocurrencies still actively developed today — it was also the 77th digital currency ever created. This places $XVG among the true early pioneers of the crypto space, long before speculative token launches became the norm.

From a marketing and adoption standpoint, that history matters.

An Early Pioneer in Crypto History

Being the 77th listed digital currency in history, https://github.com/satoshilabs/slips/blob/master/slip-0044.md?plain=1 , gives Verge a distinction very few projects can claim. This early origin means:

• Verge was created before most industry standards existed
• It helped shape early ideas around decentralized payments
• Its network has been tested across more than a decade of real-world conditions

In crypto, time is not just history — it is proof of survival.

One of the First Cryptocurrencies Listed on Binance

Verge was also one of the earliest cryptocurrencies listed on Binance, the world’s largest crypto exchange by volume.

$XVG was listed on Binance in October 2017, during the exchange’s early growth phase. https://www.binance.com/en/support/announcement/detail/115001805931

This matters because:

• Early Binance listings were selective
• Projects needed legitimacy and technical readiness
• Verge gained global liquidity early in crypto’s expansion

Many newer projects still aim for what Verge achieved years ago.

Fully Mined: 100% of $XVG Is Already in Circulation

One of Verge’s most unique and compelling advantages is its fully mined supply. ( Fully mined since 2023)

✔ All $XVG coins are already in circulation
✔ No future inflation
✔ No staking emissions or unlock schedules
✔ No dilution risk

This is fundamentally different from most cryptocurrencies today.

Why 100% Circulating Supply Matters for Value

From a market and value perspective, a fully circulating supply provides:

• Supply certainty — no surprises
• Transparent price discovery driven purely by demand
• Fair distribution with no pre-mines or VC allocations
• Clear scarcity dynamics as adoption grows

This structure aligns Verge with early Bitcoin-era monetary principles.

ISO 20022 Ready: Built for Institutional Compatibility

In addition to its long-standing payment focus, Verge has taken a major step toward institutional relevance.

ISO 20022 Checklist Completed

Verge Currency has completed the ISO 20022 compliance ( June 2023) checklist,https://github.com/vergecurrency/VergeX aligning its transaction and messaging structure with the global standard used by:

• Central banks
• Financial institutions
• Payment networks
• Cross-border settlement systems

ISO 20022 Framework Released in 2023

In 2023, Verge released an ISO 20022 framework https://github.com/vergecurrency/VergeX designed to allow institutions, payment processors, and financial infrastructure providers to integrate with the Verge blockchain.

This is not a promise — it is a delivered framework.

Why ISO 20022 Matters for $XVG

ISO 20022 is quickly becoming the global language of finance. By aligning with it, Verge positions itself as:

• A blockchain that can interface with legacy financial systems
• A payment network institutions can evaluate and integrate
• A bridge between decentralized money and traditional infrastructure

From a marketing and adoption standpoint, this sends a powerful message:

Verge is not only for retail users — it is institution-ready.

Active Development, Not Abandoned Code

Longevity alone isn’t enough — projects must keep building.

Verge continues to see:

• Active GitHub commits
• Core upgrades and modernization
• Performance and security improvements
• Ongoing tooling and build system enhancements

This combination — old network, modern code, institutional readiness — is rare in crypto.

Built to Be Spent, Not Just Traded

Verge is optimized for payments:

• Fast confirmations
• Low fees
• Global accessibility
• Real-world integrations

This reinforces Verge’s identity as digital cash, not merely a speculative asset.

Final Takeaway

✔ One of the first 100 cryptocurrencies ever created
✔ Operating continuously since 2014
✔ Early Binance listing (October 2017)
✔ 100% mined, fully circulating supply
✔ Active GitHub development
✔ ISO 20022 checklist completed
