Taurus Starts 2025 with Prestigious Awards Recognizing Innovation and Excellence in Digital Assets
Taurus SA, a leading digital asset infrastructure provider, begins 2025 with two prestigious industry awards, marking an exceptional milestone in the company's journey. Taurus secured the Best Digital Assets Solution by a Vendor at the latest edition of Digital Banker's Global BankTech Awards.
Shortly after, the company achieved another major victory in the Top Innovation (Digital Assets & Blockchain) category at the Banking Tech Awards.
The recognition comes at an important time for the financial industry, as Taurus continues to play a central role in the evolution and adoption of digital assets. Throughout 2024, the company has achieved significant milestones in bridging the gap between digital assets and traditional financial services.
Taurus forged major partnerships in multiple regions, for example with State Street, Zand Bank, and Misyon Bank, enabling financial institutions worldwide to seamlessly adopt and manage digital assets. The company further strengthened its global presence by opening new offices in Istanbul and Vancouver, strategically positioning itself in Turkey and North America to address growing market demand.
Taurus also achieved key technological milestones in 2024, reinforcing its leadership in digital asset infrastructure. It integrated the full ICP value chain, including staking, and brought its custody and issuance platforms to the Stellar network, enabling secure custody, flexible token issuance, and programmable payment flows. Through its partnership with Chainlink Labs, Taurus enriched tokenized assets with high-quality off-chain data and unlocked cross-chain interoperability, driving greater adoption and liquidity across blockchain networks. Additionally, Taurus fully integrated Taurus-PROTECT with Temenos Core Banking, allowing banks to seamlessly manage digital assets within their existing systems.
Taurus also earned recognition for its excellence, achieving critical certifications, including ISO/IEC 27001:2022 and ISAE 3402 Type II, which underscore its commitment to security and operational reliability.
Looking ahead to 2025
The twin awards provide a strong foundation for Taurus as it prepares for another impactful year. The company remains focused on expanding its enterprise-grade digital asset infrastructure and developing new capabilities to help financial institutions integrate digital assets seamlessly into their existing services.
"The truth is that we're just at the beginning of a fundamental transformation in how financial services are delivered and accessed," added Brahimi. "These awards affirm that we're on the right track in building the infrastructure needed to support this transformation safely and effectively."
