Taurus links digital asset platforms to Swift’s blockchain ledger
Digital asset infrastructure provider Taurus has integrated its tokenization and custody platforms with the Swift blockchain-based ledger to facilitate cross-border payments. This integration allows Taurus clients to connect their existing infrastructure to the Swift network, enabling the use of bank-issued tokenized deposits for settlement. The move marks a significant step in bridging traditional banking systems with distributed ledger technology, as Taurus expects the first institutional client integrations to go live within days. Initial transactions facilitated through the platform are anticipated to occur within weeks, signaling rapid adoption of the infrastructure. Swift’s ledger acts as an orchestration layer, coordinating transfers between participating banks before final settlement occurs through established arrangements like real-time gross settlement systems. This development follows successful pilot tests by major institutions, including Standard Chartered and HSBC, which recently completed the first live cross-border transaction on the ledger. By streamlining the interoperability of tokenized deposits, this partnership enhances the efficiency and speed of global institutional payments.
Taurus Unlocks Full Hedera Stack for 40+ Global Banks to Scale Digital Asset Tokenization
Taurus has integrated the full Hedera network stack into its digital asset infrastructure, enabling over 40 global financial institutions to issue and manage tokenized assets on the Hedera blockchain. This integration allows banks to leverage Hedera’s high-throughput, low-latency consensus mechanism for enterprise-grade tokenization projects. By connecting its Taurus-PROTECT and Taurus-CAPITAL platforms to Hedera, the company aims to streamline the lifecycle management of digital securities and real-world assets. This move is significant as it provides traditional financial players with a scalable, energy-efficient alternative to existing public and private blockchain infrastructures. The collaboration addresses the growing institutional demand for secure, compliant, and high-performance tokenization solutions. As global banks continue to explore distributed ledger technology, this partnership positions Hedera as a primary venue for large-scale asset issuance. The integration effectively bridges the gap between legacy banking systems and decentralized ledger capabilities, facilitating broader adoption of tokenized financial instruments.
State Street lands first external client for tokenized fund servicing
State Street has secured its first external client, a major European asset manager, for its tokenized fund servicing platform based in Luxembourg. This development follows the bank's April announcement to provide administration, custody, and transfer agency services for tokenized money market funds. The initiative leverages State Street's Digital Asset Platform, which utilizes custody and tokenization technology provided by Taurus. By expanding its services to external clients, the bank is positioning itself to compete directly with established players like Clearstream, Euroclear, and Apex Group. This move signifies a broader institutional shift toward integrating distributed ledger technology into traditional fund administration workflows. The expansion into Luxembourg is particularly significant given the region's status as a global hub for investment funds. As traditional financial institutions continue to adopt DLT, the infrastructure for tokenized assets is becoming increasingly robust and competitive.
