Taurus, a global leader in digital asset infrastructure, and State Street, one of the world’s largest custodians, have been awarded Digital Asset Partnership of the Year at the 2025 Global Custodian Leaders in Custody Awards.
The award recognizes the most significant strategic collaboration between a financial institution and a technology firm in the digital asset space. Taurus and State Street were selected for their joint efforts to deliver regulated, institutional-grade digital asset capabilities that integrate seamlessly with existing financial infrastructure.
In August 2024, State Street announced a strategic agreement with Taurus to enhance its digital asset division, State Street Digital. As part of this agreement, State Street is leveraging three of Taurus’ industry-leading products: Taurus-PROTECT, a custody platform for secure digital asset storage; Taurus-CAPITAL, which streamlines the creation and lifecycle management of tokenized assets; and Taurus-EXPLORER, which enables blockchain connectivity across dozens of different protocols.
"This recognition reflects the scale and sophistication of what we have built with State Street. Together, we are enabling digital asset adoption at the highest institutional standards, bridging traditional finance with next-generation infrastructure," said Sébastien Dessimoz, Co-Founder and Managing Partner at Taurus.
