Taurus SA, the Swiss provider of institutional-grade digital asset infrastructure regulated by FINMA, today announced its expansion into the United States with the opening of a new office in New York, its second North American base after Vancouver, Canada.
The move marks a major milestone in Taurus’ global growth strategy and reflects accelerating demand from financial institutions as the U.S. market gains regulatory clarity. Taurus already provides digital asset infrastructure to banks including State Street, Deutsche Bank, Santander, and CACEIS, and is expanding to support greater integration between U.S. and global financial systems as digital assets move into mainstream adoption.
With recent legislative shifts, including the GENIUS and Clarity Acts and the repeal of SAB 121, the new administration has positioned the U.S. to become a global hub for digital assets. Taurus expects these changes to unlock significant adoption among banks and large corporates seeking compliant, enterprise-grade infrastructure.
To lead its U.S. operations, Taurus has appointed Zack Bender as Head of U.S. Business, based in New York. Bender brings more than a decade of experience in technology and capital markets from firms including Fiserv and Swift.
“The GENIUS and Clarity Acts, together with the repeal of SAB 121, pave the way for financial institutions and large corporates to scale digital asset activities,” said Bender. “We expect significant adoption in the coming quarters, and I’m excited to support clients with one of the most advanced infrastructures in the world while building Taurus’ presence in the U.S. market.”
“Establishing a U.S. office has always been part of our strategic roadmap,” added Lamine Brahimi, Co-founder and Managing Partner at Taurus. “With Canada as our initial foothold since 2023, this expansion reflects our commitment to serving the most sophisticated financial institutions directly from the United States, now that the regulatory environment fully enables digital asset services.”
In 2023, Taurus raised $65 million in a Series B round led by Arab Bank Switzerland, UBS, and Pictet to accelerate international expansion and product development. The company now supports over 35 blockchain networks and maintains partnerships with leading global banks and financial institutions.
