Taurus Completes Hedera Integration for Banks

Taurus has completed an 18-month integration of the Hedera technology stack, allowing banks and regulated financial institutions to access custody, staking, token issuance, node infrastructure, and smart contract deployment through one provider. The integration covers five functions: HBAR custody, staking, tokenization, nodes, and smart contracts.

More than 40 banks and institutions use Taurus technology, including Deutsche Bank and State Street. Institutions can now custody HBAR, stake tokens, issue assets, and deploy Hedera smart contracts directly.

Taurus joined the Hashgraph Association's membership program in July after launching the partnership in 2025. The association said the final phase added Hedera smart contract support to the Taurus platform.
