According to CoinMeta, Taurus completed a 18-month integration with Hedera on August 5th, providing services such as custody, staking, token issuance, node infrastructure, and smart contract deployment for over 40 banks and regulated financial institutions. The Hashgraph association stated that in the final phase, Taurus platform was enhanced to support Hedera smart contracts. The technology of Taurus has been adopted by several banks and regulatory authorities, including Deutsche Bank, Caceis, and State Street. Although the announcement did not disclose which banks have launched Hedera products through this integration, Taurus now supports a complete technical stack that encompasses custody, staking, tokenization, and smart contracts. Taurus has also integrated the staking infrastructure of P2P.org, allowing banks to access proof-of-stake networks without moving their assets.
