Taurus Expands to U.S., Opens New York Office Amid Regulatory Shift

In Brief

Taurus opens U.S. office in New York, targeting institutional digital asset adoption.
Firm supports over 35 blockchains and serves major banks like State Street, Santander.
Zack Bender appointed to lead U.S. operations as regulatory clarity drives expansion.

Swiss digital asset infrastructure firm Taurus has expanded its operations into the United States with a new office in New York. This marks the company’s second North American office after Vancouver, Canada, reflecting rising institutional demand for compliant digital asset services.

The expansion aligns with recent changes in U.S. crypto regulation, including the repeal of SAB 121 and passage of the GENIUS and Clarity Acts. Taurus expects these policy shifts to increase adoption among financial institutions and corporates exploring digital asset strategies.

The firm, regulated by Switzerland’s FINMA, offers tokenisation, custody, and trading infrastructure for banks like Santander, Deutsche Bank, and State Street. Taurus currently supports over 35 blockchain networks and aims to serve U.S. clients with enterprise-grade solutions for asset tokenisation and digital custody.

Leadership and Investment Drive Global Strategy

To lead U.S. operations, Taurus appointed Zack Bender as Head of U.S. Business. Bender brings experience from major financial technology firms, including Swift and Fiserv.

Taurus has continued to scale globally since raising $65 million in a Series B round in 2023 led by UBS, Pictet, and Arab Bank Switzerland. In early 2024, Taurus was approved to offer tokenised securities to retail investors and expanded support to Solana blockchain infrastructure.

Founded in 2018, the firm also operates a marketplace for private assets and tokenised securities. Its entry into the U.S. reflects growing alignment between global infrastructure providers and a maturing regulatory environment for digital assets.

At a time when institutional interest in digital asset solutions is growing, Taurus aims to bridge traditional finance with blockchain technology. The move supports its broader goal of connecting regulated financial systems across jurisdictions through secure and scalable digital infrastructure.
