Taurus SA, a leading provider of digital asset infrastructure for banks and financial institutions, announced that it now provides custody support for the Canton Token Standard.
The company has also joined the Canton Network as a Super Validator (SV), becoming a key participant in operating and governing the Global Synchronizer, the network’s coordination and consensus layer.
As a Super Validator, Taurus helps secure and maintain the Canton Network by participating in consensus and validating critical operations across applications. SVs are selected for their reliability, enterprise credentials, and long-term commitment to supporting growth within the Canton ecosystem.
The Canton Network is the first public blockchain purpose-built for regulated financial institutions. It enables 24/7 markets, instant settlement, collateral mobility, and interoperability while maintaining full privacy and compliance. More than 6 trillion US dollars in tokenized assets have been issued or processed on Canton across bonds, repos, money market funds, loan commitments, and insurance.
“Expanding our custody capabilities to the Canton ecosystem and joining the Canton Network as a Super Validator marks a strategic milestone for Taurus,” said Victor Busson, Chief Marketing Officer at Taurus. “Our infrastructure already supports many of the world’s leading banks. By enabling these institutions to leverage Canton’s advanced privacy and collateral management features, we are creating new institutional use cases and delivering greater value across the regulated digital asset ecosystem.”
“Taurus is one of the most trusted digital asset infrastructure providers to global banks,” said Melvis Langyintuo, Executive Director at the Canton Foundation. “Their participation as both a core infrastructure partner and a Super Validator strengthens the Canton Network and supports its mission to connect financial institutions through a platform built for privacy, compliance, and operational resilience.”
Taurus’ role as a Super Validator builds on its extensive experience in digital asset infrastructure and its trusted relationships with leading global financial institutions. The company maintains strategic partnerships with Deutsche Bank, CACEIS, Santander, and State Street, among others, providing infrastructure that supports every stage of digital asset activity, from issuance to custody and trading, under the highest security and regulatory standards.
