The collaboration connects Taurus’ institutional digital asset infrastructure with the Hedera ecosystem to support real-world tokenization, custody and trading use cases

Schwyz, Switzerland  July 9th:  Taurus, a leading digital asset infrastructure provider for banks and regulated financial institutions, has joined The Hashgraph Association’s (THA) Global Membership Program as a Titan of the Blockchain and digital asset industry.  

The move brings together two organizations working to make digital assets more useful for enterprises and financial institutions. Taurus provides the infrastructure that banks need to custody, issue and trade digital assets. The Hashgraph Association supports builders and organizations developing on Hedera, the public distributed ledger network. 

For Taurus, membership in THA creates a direct channel into a global ecosystem of enterprises, startups, developers, academic institutions and Web3 projects building practical applications on Hedera. For The Hashgraph Association, Taurus brings institutional-grade expertise in custody, tokenization and trading infrastructure at a time when more banks are moving digital asset projects from pilots into production. 

Founded in 2018, Taurus has built technology used by more than 40 banks and regulated financial institutions worldwide. Its platform supports the full digital asset lifecycle, from custody and tokenization to trading, helping institutions manage cryptocurrencies, tokenized securities, stablecoins and other digital assets. 

The announcement comes as financial institutions are increasingly exploring tokenized financial products, digital payments, collateral management and blockchain-based market infrastructure. These use-cases require secure, compliant and scalable technology, especially when they involve regulated institutions and real-world assets. 

Through the Global Membership Program, Taurus will be able to engage more closely with The Hashgraph Association’s network and contribute to discussions, projects and initiatives focused on enterprise adoption of Hedera. The program gives members access to ecosystem connections, education, product sandboxes, executive roundtables, thought leadership opportunities and strategic introductions. 

The Hashgraph Association designed the program for organizations and individuals at different stages of growth, including startups, SMEs, enterprises, NGOs, academic institutions, developers and professionals. Publicly announced membership categories include Founding Members, Honorary Members, Association Members, Ecosystem Members and Community Members. 

Taurus and The Hashgraph Association have already worked together. In 2025, the two organizations announced a strategic partnership to integrate Hedera’s HBAR cryptocurrency and Hedera Token Service into the Taurus platform. That integration enabled institutional clients to custody and stake HBAR and issue tokenized assets on Hedera. 

Taurus’ membership builds on that partnership and reflects a shared goal: helping financial institutions use blockchain technology in a secure, compliant and practical way. 

“Financial institutions are no longer only testing digital assets. They are looking for infrastructure that can support real use cases at scale,” said Clémentine Drouot, Head of Network Partnerships at Taurus. “Joining The Hashgraph Association’s Global Membership Program gives Taurus a stronger role in the Hedera ecosystem and supports our mission to help banks and institutions build trusted digital asset services.” 

“Taurus is a strong addition to our global membership community,” said Kamal Youssefi, President of The Hashgraph Association. “Its experience with regulated financial institutions will help connect Hedera’s technology with the banks and enterprises developing the next generation of digital asset services.” 

The collaboration is expected to support use cases such as tokenized assets, stablecoins, digital cash, collateral management and institutional trading infrastructure.
