Taurus Launches Enterprise-Grade Tokenisation Platform on Solana, Backed by Deutsche Bank

Taurus, a Deutsche Bank-backed digital asset infrastructure, has launched Taurus-Capital, an enterprise-grade custody and tokenisation platform on the Solana (SOL) blockchain. 

The project will allow financial institutions to custody, stake, and issue programmable tokenised assets through a high-performing network like Solana.

The decision to integrate with Solana was driven by increasing institutional demand for real-world asset (RWA) tokenisation, according to Taurus’ head of global strategic partnerships Jürgen Hofbauer:

With this integration, our banking and enterprise clients can access an advanced platform to tokenize assets like equity, debt, structured products, funds, tokenized deposits and CBDCs, while minimizing costs and operational complexities.

The Swiss Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) Act has accelerated the adoption of regulated tokenisation services, which provides clear compliance guidelines for banks. According to Hofbauer, the company has seen strong interest from Middle Eastern banks exploring stablecoin issuance and digital asset expansion on Solana.

The integration resulted from real institutional demand from our client base — particularly from banks in the Middle East that are looking to expand their digital asset capabilities on Solana.

The firm’s custody platform Taurus-Protect will support Solana-native assets, while Taurus-Capital will facilitate the issuance of tokenised financial products.

Taurus previously raised US$65M (AU$102M) in a Series B round led by Credit Suisse, with participation from Deutsche Bank, Pictet Group, and other major financial corporations. The firm has projected the digital asset industry could go past US$10T (AU$15.83T) in value through the tokenisation of private assets.
