Integration of Taurus-PROTECT and Taurus-CAPITAL enables secure custody, staking and scalable issuance of tokenized assets on Solana.
Zurich, 13.02.2025—Taurus, a global leader in digital asset infrastructure, today announced the integration of its custody platform, Taurus-PROTECT, and its digital issuance and tokenization platform, Taurus-CAPITAL, with the Solana network. Solana, a high-performance blockchain designed for scalability and low-cost transactions, is a trusted platform for global financial institutions and developers seeking to build tokenized asset solutions.
This integration empowers banks and issuers to securely custody and stake any Solana-native tokenized assets via Taurus-PROTECT, and to issue programmable tokenized assets on Solana using token extensions through Taurus-CAPITAL. By leveraging Solana's high throughput and low latency, Taurus clients can achieve unprecedented levels of efficiency, enabling seamless automation of financial workflows and payment processes.
The Solana network is widely recognized for its speed, scalability, and minimal transaction fees, making it an ideal platform for tokenized asset issuance and management. Solana's programmable features allow for customizable, secure, and highly efficient solutions tailored to the needs of institutional clients.
Jürgen Hofbauer, Head of Global Strategic Partnerships at Taurus, said: “Integrating with Solana marks a significant milestone for Taurus, as the blockchain’s scalability and cost-efficiency are unparalleled in the industry. With this integration, our banking and enterprise clients can access an advanced platform to tokenize assets like equity, debt, structured products, funds, tokenized deposits, and CBDCs, while minimizing costs and operational complexities.”
