Taurus says it works with more than 25 financial institutions, including Credit Suisse and Deutsche Bank, as well as Arab Bank Switzerland and Pictet Group, which also joined the funding round. Taurus offers custody, tokenization and trading of digital assets, including support for staking and decentralized finance (DeFi).
The funding round is a reminder that capital is still finding its way to the digital asset industry from major financial institutions, even after last year's crypto market crash and the collapse of crypto lenders Celsius Network and Voyager Digital as well as crypto exchange FTX.

RWA issuers prioritize capital formation over liquidity, according to Brickken survey
Exclusive fourth quarter data shows 69.2% of issuers are live, while 84.6% report regulatory friction shaping tokenization rollout.
What to know:
- A new Brickken survey finds most real-world asset issuers are using tokenization primarily to improve capital formation and fundraising efficiency, not to unlock secondary market liquidity.
- While major exchanges like CME, NYSE and Nasdaq push toward 24/7 trading for tokenized assets, many issuers remain in a validation phase focused on regulatory structures, issuance processes and compliant asset quality.
- Regulation is the main drag on tokenization efforts, even as activity expands beyond real estate into equities, IP and entertainment, with industry leaders emphasizing issuance infrastructure as the key bridge between traditional and decentralized finance.
