As 2025 sunsets with another crypto winter, we wrap up the year with products that are more complete, more automated and more secure across custody, tokenization, trading, and settlement. We expanded our custody solution, Taurus-PROTECT, with broader chain and protocol coverage, more staking options, and new automation capabilities. We launched Taurus-NETWORK, giving clients a faster and more controlled way to settle transactions and manage collateral in real time. And we strengthened the trading and execution layer of the platform with Taurus-PRIME (formerly TDX), which now offers a more comprehensive suite of institutional financial services. 

Let’s review what 2025 brought to Taurus clients, and why it matters. 

New blockchains & protocol support 

Institutions rely on Taurus to support a wide range of assets without adding operational or security complexity. In 2025, we expanded this coverage by integrating major and emerging blockchain protocols shortly after client requests, in some cases with support from the respective foundations. This resulted in 13 new blockchain integrations, including: 

• ADI (testnet), including ADI-20 tokens 

• ARC (testnet), including ARC-20 tokens 

• Base, including Base-20 tokens 

• Binance Smart Chain (BSC), including BSC-20 tokens 

• Bittensor (TAO) 

• Canton Network 

• Dogecoin (DOGE) 

• Hedera (HTS), including staking and proof of ownership 

• Filecoin (FIL) 

• Mina, including staking, undelegation, and proof of ownership 

• Sonic (ex-Fantom) 
• Tron, including TRC-20 tokens 

Additional protocol improvements 

• Support for ICP token standards ICRC-1 and ICRC-2 

• Native support for NFT collections such as Cryptopunks 

Staking expansions 

• Ethereum 

• Mina 

• Hedera 

• Tezos 

• Solana 

Why it matters: Clients can expand their multi-chain custody, tokenization, and staking strategies with a consistent security model and unified operational workflows. 

Taurus-NETWORK & third-party connectivity 

Since launching Taurus-NETWORK in early 2025, we have significantly expanded its capabilities and integrations. Taurus-NETWORK is our secure settlement and collaboration layer that allows Taurus clients to transact directly with one another while reducing operational friction and strengthening compliance across both tokenized assets and cryptocurrencies. 

Taurus-PROTECT users can initiate transfers and settlements with other institutions through Taurus-NETWORK and benefit from a growing set of services connected to the platform. Throughout 2025, we delivered several major enhancements aligned with our clients’ operational, settlement, and risk-management needs:  

• Fund pledging for cryptocurrencies and tokenized assets 

• Risk-control features such as exposure limits and automatic withdrawals 

• A borrowing and lending protocol to support liquidity workflows 

• Automated settlement and orchestration for streamlined end-to-end processes 

We also broadened the Taurus ecosystem by integrating leading industry providers. In addition to our established partners, 2025 brought new connectivity with: 

• Stablecoin issuers: Circle Mint and CUBnet 

• Exchanges: Crypto.com and Paymium 

• Compliance provider: TRM Labs 

• Staking provider: Figment 

Why it matters: Clients can transfer, settle, lend, pledge and coordinate digital asset operations with less manual work and stronger compliance guarantees. 

Taurus-PRIME financial services 

We rebranded our marketplace from TDX to Taurus-PRIME, which now delivers a more complete suite of institutional trading and execution services. PRIME gives clients secure access to digital asset markets with wide asset coverage, banking-grade security, and deep liquidity, operated under a FINMA-regulated securities firm. 

Taurus-PRIME introduced several key enhancements in 2025: 

• PRIME over-the-counter (OTC) trading desk integration, supporting multiple trading logics (limit, market, TWAP, RFQ) 

• Taurus-NETWORK settlement infrastructure integration 

• Design of the Taurus-PRIME mobile application for Android and iOS 

• Major UI/UX revamp 

Why it matters: PRIME brings execution, custody, and settlement together in one platform. Institutions can trade directly from secure storage via Taurus-NETWORK, connect PRIME to existing systems, and operate with full governance, auditability, and regulatory alignment. 

We have major plans for 2026, including new types of tokenized assets, new settlement lines, and expanded trading workflows. 

Security audits & hardening 

Security is a top priority at Taurus, which is why we go well beyond the regulatory obligation of one audit per year. In 2025, 11 independent third-party security assessments covered Taurus products, including: 

• 2 penetration tests of the Taurus-PROTECT graphical user interface and back end 

• 2 penetration tests of the upcoming Taurus-PRIME mobile application 

• 1 penetration test of the Taurus-PRIME web application and back end 

• 1 private bug bounty targeting the Taurus-PRIME web application and back end 

• 1 penetration test of the Taurus-NETWORK service 

• 1 penetration test of the Taurus-EXPLORER node service 

• 1 source code review of the PROTECT Engine, our proprietary software running in the HSM 

• 2 source code reviews of the key-ceremony toolchain 

In addition, every smart contract integrated into Taurus-PROTECT and Taurus-PRIME undergoes at least one third-party security assessment. 

Why it matters: Clients rely on infrastructure that is continuously tested by independent cybersecurity experts and maintained to meet the strictest security and regulatory standards. 

Sneak peek into 2026  

2026 will bring more blockchains, more stablecoins and additional features across Taurus-PROTECT. One of our first major deliverables will be a set of new security capabilities, including air-gapped cold-wallet architectures aligned with the strictest regulatory requirements. 

If your organization already uses cross-domain solutions to isolate security zones, you will now be able to apply them to the Taurus-PROTECT security zone and introduce custom security filtering for transaction requests.
