Taurus SA and Parfin have joined forces to transfor institutional access to tokenization and custody infrastructure. The move integrates Switzerland-based Taurus’s comprehensive digital asset suite into Parfin’s interoperable platform, creating a full-stack solution tailored to the evolving needs of regulated financial institutions.
The collaboration signals a maturing shift in how institutions adopt blockchain technology, as security, compliance, and interoperability become core to the infrastructure underpinning tokenized finance.
Consolidating Institutional Rails for Tokenized Finance
Founded in 2018, Taurus has grown into one of Europe’s leading digital asset technology providers, serving major banks including Deutsche Bank, Credit Suisse, and UBS. Its flagship products — Taurus-PROTECT (custody and governance) and Taurus-CAPITAL (tokenization and asset lifecycle management) — offer institutional clients secure access to cryptocurrencies, tokenized securities, NFTs, and central bank digital currencies (CBDCs).
Parfin, headquartered in Brazil and backed by Accenture and BTG Pactual veterans, offers a custody-agnostic orchestration layer through its Rayls infrastructure. It enables institutions to connect traditional systems with public and permissioned blockchain networks using APIs, HSM-based security, and customizable governance tools. Parfin is also the technology provider behind Kinexys — J.P. Morgan’s Latin American blockchain innovation hub.
The integration combines Taurus’s regulated custody and tokenization stack with Parfin’s flexible orchestration platform. Institutions using Parfin’s interface will now be able to tokenize assets, execute trades, and manage custody seamlessly — all under a unified compliance framework.
Why This Matters?
The partnership is response to the growing institutional demand for interoperable, compliant digital asset infrastructure. Global banks and asset managers have been ramping up exploration of tokenization — including JPMorgan’s Onyx, Citi’s DLT platform, and Franklin Templeton’s blockchain-based funds. According to Boston Consulting Group, asset tokenization could reach a $16 trillion market by 2030.
By unifying custody, tokenization, execution, and governance, Taurus and Parfin aim to simplify infrastructure complexity and reduce operational risk — critical barriers to institutional adoption.
“Taurus delivers the most complete and trusted digital asset infrastructure for regulated institutions,” said Lamine Brahimi, Co-Founder and Managing Partner at Taurus. “Parfin shares our focus on institutional security, governance, and compliance. Together, we’re providing a scalable, high-performance solution.”
Marcos Viriato, CEO of Parfin, mentioned: “This partnership is an important step for institutions seeking global-standard infrastructure… The integration with Taurus enhances flexibility, allowing clients to choose solutions that best meet their needs in a secure and compliant environment.”
Expansion into Latin America
The partnership also marks Taurus’s official expansion into Latin America — a region witnessing accelerating blockchain adoption. Brazil, in particular, is emerging as a fintech hub with initiatives like the Drex CBDC project and major banks integrating tokenized offerings.
Parfin’s established regional presence, bolstered by support from Accenture and its growing client base of banks, hedge funds, and crypto-native players, positions the alliance to tap into the continent’s burgeoning demand for tokenized financial services.
