Crypto News: Crypto Firm Taurus Establishes New York Office Amid Global Growth

2025/10/30 12:15

Taurus, a Swiss FINMA-regulated digital asset firm, opens its first U.S. office in New York to support mainstream adoption by large financial institutions.

Taurus, a Switzerland-based fintech firm, is expanding into the United States now. The company announced the opening of its first office in the US, in New York, today. This move follows the successful launch of its first office in North America in Vancouver, Canada, in 2023. Therefore, this milestone greatly furthers Taurus’s dedication to the North American market.

New York Office to Lead Expansion for Digital Asset Infrastructure

The FINMA-regulated firm provides an institutional-grade digital assets infrastructure actively. Furthermore, Taurus provides for major global banks such as Deutsche Bank, Santander and State Street on a regular basis. The expansion is to help successful greater integration of the worldwide and U.S. financial systems. With that being said, this is preparing the move of digital assets towards mainstream adoption in general. Hence, the New York office is an important strategic location.

Specifically, Taurus’s US operations will be headed by Zack Bender directly. He will be housed in the new New York office immediately. Mr. Bender has more than 10 years of experience in the global institutional and start-up sector. In addition, his skills in technological expertise, capital markets, and selling are executed effectively. He used to develop such knowledge at Tier-1 firms such as Swift, Fiserv on a regular basis.

The regulatory environment is generating strong tailwinds at this time. Mr. Bender said that the repeal of SAB121 and the new acts are making way for growth. As a result, financial institutions and large corporates can now scale the digital asset activities to a large extent. Taurus expects to see a lot of adoption in the next quarters. Therefore, the firm is keen on supporting the clients with the advanced infrastructure actively.

In fact, Taurus is actively monitoring the U.S. market since 2020. The company already serves a number of American banks and market makers successfully. Under the new US administration, Taurus is gaining good legs. This new political environment puts the U.S. in a position to emerge as a global digital asset hub in general. Thus, the time is ripe for expansion.

Taurus Bolsters Commitment with Institutional Partnerships and Funding

Lamine Brahimi, Co-founder and Managing Partner at Taurus, commented on the expansion directl.y He said setting up an office in the United States was always a strategic priority. Now that the regulatory environment fully allows for digital asset services, the time is right. Consequently, the message in the announcement is that of commitment to serving sophisticated financial institutions directly. This helps in the effective support of local clients for global clients.

Taurus has made its name as a trusted infrastructure provider in the world. Major institutions are actively maintained strategic partnerships by the firm. These partners, in addition to the other parties, are CACEIS, Pictet, and UBS/Credit Suisse, among others, regularly. Furthermore, in February 2023, Taurus has closed a $65 million Series B round of funding. This funding was spearheaded by big-name investors such as Arab Bank Switzerland and Investis directly.

The new office in New York puts a huge focus on the need for local support. This strategic move makes it easier to trust and collaborate actively. Taurus wants to fit its solutions into the US financial stack seamlessly. Therefore, the firm is making sure that its infrastructure has the highest institutional standards. This commitment is the key to mass adoption as a whole.

Ultimately, the U.S. expansion of Taurus is a key event at this time. It confirms the ongoing trend of digital assets moving into the financial mainstream on an active basis. The firm is now well-positioned to take advantage of major regulatory changes. As a result, Taurus seeks to link the global and U.S. financial systems in an efficient way. This cements its leadership in the digital asset technology.

Pavel's humanity, and Ton's challenges

Pavel's humanity, and Ton's challenges

I really like what Pavel mentioned about not using a mobile phone. Essentially, this is an "information fasting" approach to the challenges of information overload, contrasting with the "food fasting" that everyone loves using apps. One is metaphysical, the other is physical, but ultimately, both affect the mind and body, influencing hormones like cortisol. Now and in the future, attention is the scarcest resource. Being able to freely disconnect from electronic devices is a luxury, a freedom with its own barriers. Pavel is also an extreme craftsman. The advantage of being a craftsman is that you can lead a small team to create a killer app. However, the limitation is that Telegram, as the largest instant messaging software outside of China and the US, cannot become another Tencent platform. This same culture has also influenced its Web3 project, TON. By the way, let me talk about my close observation of TON over the past four years as the first Chinese institutional investor in the world. 1. The wrong technological path was taken. TON's stubborn insistence on using C++ seems like a kind of technological purist obsession. Historically, Russians have repeatedly taken the wrong turn on the "data technology tree": the Soviet Union failed to adapt to the transistor revolution, became obsessed with vacuum tube performance optimization, and missed the entire chip wave. They often overemphasize performance and control, but neglect the ecosystem and development experience. TON's SDK, toolchain, and documentation ecosystem lack standardization, making the development threshold too high; this is not a syntax problem, but a problem of lacking platform thinking. 2. Uneven ecological composition. Currently, it's basically only Russians and Chinese who are active, but resource allocation is clearly biased towards the Russian-speaking region. This is something everyone is already familiar with. 3. Oligopoly. Funding, traffic, and narrative resources within the ecosystem are concentrated on a few "top" companies/projects. Everyone knows they must curry favor with the "top" teams, but mid-tier projects are severely squeezed out. There is also a long-term power struggle between foundations and the oligopolistic "top" companies, resulting in constant internal friction. 4. Failure to accept oneself. Accepting and reconciling with oneself is crucial for any individual or organization. Only on this basis can you face yourself honestly and leverage your strengths while mitigating your weaknesses. However, TON seems obsessed with pitching to Musk, persuading American investors, and getting to the White House. The truth is, no matter how hard it tries, in the eyes of others, TON remains a public chain with a Russian background. In contrast, BNB didn't try to play the "American" role. Instead, it first became the most popular chain in the Eastern Time Zone, simultaneously creating a sense of FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) among Westerners, before smoothly expanding internationally—a much more effective approach. 5. The story of "adoption for 1 billion users" has been told for four years, and it's still just a story. Pavel keeps telling a grand story of "connecting Telegram's 1 billion users with the blockchain world," but this story has yet to truly materialize. The reason isn't that the vision is false, but rather structural constraints: In order to survive and ensure Pavel's personal safety (in recent years, Pavel has become increasingly obsessed with his physical safety, given several incidents, including the recent events in France), Telegram must maintain a "superficial" separation from TON to avoid crossing regulatory red lines; this separation prevents TON from ever truly integrating with Telegram's ecosystem. Even stablecoins like USDE have maintained a supply of only a few hundred million—indicating that the story is grand, but the reality is small. TON possesses the perfectionism of engineering geeks, yet lacks the warmth of ecological collaboration; it has a massive entry point, but is hampered by regulatory realities; it has its own advantages, but has not yet reconciled with itself. It has a narrative and ideals, but these need to be transformed into a sustainable balance of systems and incentives. I wish the TON ecosystem will continue to improve.
