Taurus Launches Strategic New York Hub to Conquer U.S. Digital Asset Markets

Taurus just planted its flag in the world's financial capital—and Wall Street should be paying attention.

Expansion with Intent

The Swiss digital assets infrastructure provider isn't just opening another office. They're building a beachhead for full-scale American domination. New York represents the ultimate prize for any serious blockchain player—the regulatory gatekeepers, the institutional capital, the market makers who move billions.

Institutional-Grade On-Ramp

Taurus brings European banking-grade security standards to a market hungry for compliant crypto solutions. While retail traders chase memecoins, the real money flows through regulated pipelines. Their timing couldn't be better—just as traditional finance finally admits blockchain isn't going away.

The Regulatory Gambit

New York's notoriously tough financial regulators have crushed weaker players. Taurus studied this battlefield—they're not coming with begging bowls but with enterprise-grade technology that even compliance officers can love. Because in crypto, the real alpha isn't finding the next moonshot—it's navigating regulatory mazes while maintaining actual banking relationships.

Another finance giant bets on blockchain infrastructure while traditional banks still debate whether crypto belongs in their marble hallways. The future arrives whether you're ready or not.

Taurus expands into the world’s most influential market

Taurus said it has been actively analyzing the American regulatory and market landscape since 2020 and already counts several U.S. banks and market makers as clients, operating remotely until now.

The expansion also comes on the heels of Taurus joining Circle’s Arc public testnet as a digital asset custody provider, a development announced one day before the New York news. Arc aims to create an internet-based economic operating system that allows real-world assets to move and settle onchain with institutional assurances.

Taurus’ role in the trial is to bring secure asset management and tokenization features to the testing environment, an indication that the firm sees its U.S. presence tied closely to emerging market infrastructure rather than the retail segment.

Globally, Taurus continues to execute a rapid expansion plan. The New York office becomes its thirteenth worldwide and its second major launch in as many months, following the establishment of a Brazilian office in São Paulo this past September.

Founded in 2018, Taurus has spent its formative years aligning closely with the world’s established financial gatekeepers. In 2023, it raised $65 million in a Series B round led by Arab Bank Switzerland, UBS and Pictet to ramp up international growth and product development.

The firm said it has partnerships with the likes of State Street, Deutsche Bank, Santander and CACEIS, underscoring its strategy of embedding regulated blockchain services directly into the existing securities infrastructure, while avoiding the culture clash that has slowed other crypto entrants.
