Taurus

Taurus is a technology provider, not an asset manager. It sells enterprise software that financial institutions use to custody, issue, and trade digital assets. The firm does not manage discretionary portfolios; its revenues come from platform licensing and related services rather than management fees.

Through Taurus-PROTECT, a custody platform that supports hot, warm, and cold storage with hardware security modules. The firm claims banks can trade directly from cold storage without exposing private keys, a design that avoids the standard separation between custody and settlement infrastructure.

Taurus-NETWORK is an interbank settlement and collateral management system connecting banks, exchanges, and liquidity providers. It operates on both on-chain and fiat payment networks and is structured so that no single operator introduces counterparty risk—settlement flows are distributed across participants.

Publicly named clients include Deutsche Bank, CACEIS, and Misyon Bank. The firm states it serves systemic banks in Europe, the Middle East, and Asia, as well as neobanks, broker-dealers, fintechs, and financial-market infrastructures.

The platform spans three categories: cryptocurrencies (custody, staking, and trading), tokenized securities (equity, debt, funds, and structured products), and digital currencies (stablecoins, tokenized deposits, and CBDCs). Taurus' smart-contract coverage is blockchain-agnostic and supports both EVM and non-EVM chains.

Taurus is supervised by FINMA, the Swiss financial regulator, and is subject to DORA requirements within the EU. It holds ISO 27001 and ISAE 3402 Type II certifications and states that it undergoes Big Four audit scrutiny.

Taurus does not operate as a family office, and its founding capital sources have not been publicly disclosed. The firm describes itself as a self-funded technology company launched by engineers and PhDs in 2018.
