Trading and settlement
Off-exchange settlement
Off-exchange settlement lets institutions trade on venues without pre-funding them: assets stay in the institution's own custody until settlement is final, and no counterparty ever holds both legs of a trade. It removes the main source of counterparty exposure in digital asset trading.
How trading without pre-funding works
Assets are pledged in custody, trades execute against the pledge, and settlement transfers value only at finality, on-chain or in fiat. Exchange insolvency risk, the defining institutional fear of past market failures, is designed out.
Taurus-NETWORK provides off-exchange settlement and collateral management between institutions running Taurus-PROTECT, settling on-chain across 30+ blockchains or in fiat across EUR, USD, and CHF.
