Swiss Crypto Infrastructure Firm Taurus Expands to U.S. With New York Office

Why It Matters

The expansion underscores rising institutional demand for compliant crypto infrastructure in the United States and positions Taurus to capture market share as new legislation removes key regulatory barriers.

Summary

Swiss crypto‑infrastructure provider Taurus opened a New York office, its second North American location after Vancouver, to serve U.S. banks and corporates entering digital assets. The firm appointed Zack Bender, formerly of Fiserv and Swift, to head U.S. operations. The move is timed with the passage of the GENIUS and Clarity Acts and the repeal of SEC SAB 121, which regulators say create the most favorable environment for digital‑asset services in years. Taurus, regulated by FINMA and backed by a $65 million Series B round, offers custody, tokenization and trading across more than 35 blockchains to clients such as State Street, Deutsche Bank and Santander.
