Taurus has integrated P2P.org's staking services into its custody platform, providing banks and financial institutions with direct access to institutional-grade staking across multiple blockchain networks. According to a press release shared with crypto.news, the integration allows Taurus clients to access P2P.org's validator infrastructure directly through Taurus-PROTECT, the company's custody platform built for banks. The service launches with Ethereum staking and is connected natively to the Beacon Chain deposit contract. Built into existing custody workflows, the new offering is designed to let institutions participate in staking without moving assets outside the infrastructure they already use.
Financial institutions using Taurus-PROTECT can delegate assets to P2P.org validators while retaining custody and control of their holdings. Beyond Ethereum, the integration provides access to staking across several proof-of-stake networks, including Solana, Polkadot, Cosmos, NEAR, Cardano, and Tezos. As reported by crypto.news, clients continue to maintain control over their assets while staking rewards are determined by the reward mechanisms of each underlying blockchain network.
Founded in 2018, P2P.org operates non-custodial validator infrastructure and reports more than $10 billion in delegated assets across over 50 proof-of-stake networks. According to the announcement, the company has operated for seven years without a slashing incident and maintains SOC 2 Type II certification audited by KirkpatrickPrice. The company holds an AAA Verified Staking Provider rating and operates non-custodial validator infrastructure.
Clémentine Drouot, Head of Taurus-NETWORK Partnerships at Taurus, stated that the partnership gives financial institutions access to staking services through infrastructure designed to meet banking standards for security, compliance, and operational oversight. Alexander Loktev, Chief Revenue Officer at P2P.org, emphasized that regulated institutions require staking infrastructure that satisfies governance, security, and operational requirements. The integration enables banks and financial institutions worldwide to access institutional-grade staking services directly within their existing digital asset platform, reducing operational complexity and accelerating time-to-market.
For Taurus, the agreement adds another institutional service as the Swiss digital asset infrastructure provider continues expanding its presence among traditional financial institutions. According to the announcement, the company previously worked with financial institutions including State Street, Deutsche Bank, Santander, and CACEIS. In October 2025, Taurus opened a New York office led by capital markets executive Zack Bender, citing regulatory developments such as the GENIUS Act, the CLARITY Act, and the repeal of SAB121 as factors supporting increased digital asset adoption by banks. Recent initiatives have also included Taurus joining Circle's Arc public testnet as a digital asset custody provider.
