Geneva, Switzerland, 05.11.2025—Taurus has integrated Circle Mint into its Taurus-PROTECT custody platform, enabling financial institutions to store, mint, and burn USDC across multiple blockchains within a secure and compliant infrastructure.
Taurus-PROTECT is Taurus’ institutional digital asset custody platform, trusted by banks and financial institutions globally to store and manage any digital asset, including cryptocurrencies, tokenized assets, and stablecoins, under stringent regulatory and security standards.
Through this integration, institutions gain direct access to Circle’s regulated stablecoin infrastructure, allowing them to move liquidity between cash and USDC efficiently and transparently, while maintaining full control of their assets within Taurus-PROTECT.
By connecting to Circle Mint, Taurus clients can:
- Mint USDC by exchanging fiat held with Circle for tokens issued to blockchain addresses under their custody.
- Burn USDC by transferring tokens to Circle for redemption into fiat cash.
As a result, financial institutions can settle transactions directly on blockchain networks while maintaining compliance, transparency, and control. This reduces their reliance on legacy payment systems such as SWIFT, SIC, and euro-SIC, enabling faster and more efficient settlements.
“This integration extends Taurus-PROTECT’s capabilities into fiat-to-stablecoin operations,” said Vassili Lavrov, Head of Product-Infrastructure at Taurus. “It enables institutions to move liquidity between cash and USDC efficiently while maintaining regulatory and operational standards.”
Getting started
To use this functionality, clients must have an active Circle account. Institutions can begin onboarding via Circle’s partner page or contact Taurus for a referral to Circle’s institutional team.
