Swiss digital asset infrastructure firm @taurus_hq has completed an 18-month integration of the full @hedera technology stack, opening $HBAR custody, staking, token issuance, and EVM-compatible smart contract deployment to more than 40 banks and regulated institutions through a single platform.
Taurus completed the 18-month Hedera rollout on August 5, giving banks and regulated financial institutions access to custody, staking, token issuance, node infrastructure, and smart contract deployment from one provider.The integration spans Taurus-PROTECT, Taurus-EXPLORER, and Taurus-CAPITAL under one institutional risk framework.
More than 40 banks and regulated financial institutions worldwide, including Deutsche Bank, State Street, and CACEIS, can now access the Hedera network's full product suite.They can run programmable products, including tokenized bonds, funds, and stablecoins, all within the same platform, environment, and risk framework.
Earlier phases of the rollout brought $HBAR custody and staking to Taurus-PROTECT and added Hedera Token Service support to Taurus-CAPITAL.The smart contract phase broadens that earlier work beyond holding $HBAR and issuing native tokens, giving tokenization engines, stablecoin issuers, and fund administrators a route to build Hedera products while using Taurus for custody and institutional controls.
Founded in 2018, Taurus has been named Best Custody Solutions Provider for Digital Assets at the Global BankTech Awards 2025 and delivers what it describes as a comprehensive digital asset platform combining enterprise-grade technology with regulatory compliance in a single solution.The firm formally joined The Hashgraph Association's Global Membership Program in July 2026, with the full Hedera integration completing shortly after.
Kamal Youssefi, president of The Hashgraph Association, positioned the move alongside regulatory progress in Europe under MiCA and the ongoing debate in the U.S. around the CLARITY Act, saying the integration helps regulated institutions enter Web3 "with ease and confidence."
Taurus said its infrastructure platform makes it possible for banks and institutions to plan not only for the products they are currently offering, but also for future tokenization needs. The announcement confirms technical availability. Taurus and The Hashgraph Association have not provided pricing, customer adoption figures, transaction volumes, or the value of $HBAR and tokenized assets held through the platform.
