Taurus SA, the Swiss digital asset infrastructure specialist, is expanding its custody and staking capabilities through a new partnership with Figment, a major player in blockchain staking services. The integration will allow Taurus’ extensive banking clientele to access Figment’s institutional-grade staking infrastructure directly via Taurus-PROTECT, its flagship custody platform.
The move reflects a growing trend among traditional financial institutions to offer staking — the process of locking up cryptocurrency to support blockchain networks and earn rewards — as client demand for yield-generating digital assets intensifies.
Under the partnership, Taurus clients will be able to stake assets across leading Proof-of-Stake blockchains, including Ethereum (ETH) and Solana (SOL), while maintaining full ownership and custody control. Figment’s infrastructure is known for providing slashing protection, audited processes, and seamless portfolio management tools, catering to the needs of risk-averse institutional players.
“This collaboration leverages the strengths of two companies deeply entrenched in the regulated finance space,” said Eva Lawrence, Figment’s Regional Managing Director for EMEA. “We are proud to extend our staking services to Taurus’ trusted platform, delivering secure and compliant solutions for the world’s leading banks.”
Founded in 2018, Taurus has emerged as a key technology provider for digital asset issuance, custody, and trading in the banking sector. Its client base includes systemic banks, private banks, and crypto-native financial institutions across Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. The company operates TDX, a regulated marketplace for tokenized securities, and is supervised by Switzerland’s financial regulator FINMA.
Meanwhile, Figment has rapidly established itself as the largest independent non-custodial staking provider, managing staking services for over 700 institutional clients. On Ethereum alone, Figment is the top provider outside of exchanges and custodians, underscoring its reputation in safeguarding assets while maximizing staking yields.
The Taurus-Figment partnership comes as staking continues to grow into a multi-billion-dollar segment. According to data from Staked, a division of Kraken, the total market capitalization of staked assets surpassed $400 billion in early 2025, with Ethereum’s Shapella upgrade and Solana’s network recovery contributing to renewed interest.
Victor Busson, Chief Marketing Officer at Taurus, emphasized that the partnership is part of a broader strategy to offer banks “secure, compliant, and scalable access to digital asset yields” without compromising on regulatory standards.
The collaboration signals the increasing convergence between traditional finance and blockchain infrastructure providers. As banks seek new revenue streams and more clients demand exposure to digital assets, seamless and secure staking offerings are likely to become a standard component of institutional crypto services.
