Swiss digital asset powerhouse Taurus and Brazil’s fintech innovator Parfin have announced an expanded partnership aimed at delivering a unified, institutional-grade digital asset infrastructure across Europe and Latin America. The collaboration integrates Taurus’s comprehensive suite of solutions into Parfin’s institutional platform, marking a significant milestone in the evolution of interoperable blockchain systems for regulated markets.
Building a Unified Framework for Regulated Markets
The two companies stated that this partnership represents “a significant step forward in the consolidation of an interoperable infrastructure ready to meet the demands of regulated markets on a global scale.” Their joint solution emphasizes end-to-end functionality, from custody and governance to compliant issuance and full asset lifecycle management.
As part of the deal, Parfin will incorporate Taurus’s full product lineup—including Taurus-PROTECT (custody and key management) and Taurus-CAPITAL (tokenization and asset services)—into its custody-agnostic platform. The result: a single, high-performance system built to accommodate the complex security, compliance, and scalability needs of institutional clients.
High-Security Architecture with HSM Support
Parfin’s platform will continue to operate as a custody-agnostic solution while now leveraging hardware security module (HSM) capabilities. This allows for tailored configurations that meet the diverse architectural and regulatory requirements of banks, asset managers, and other financial institutions.
Lamine Brahimi, Co-Founder and Managing Partner at Taurus, commented:
“We’re providing a scalable, high-performance solution that supports institutions as they expand their digital asset capabilities.”
Streamlined Operations and Institutional-Grade Benefits
By removing the need for fragmented third-party systems, the integration helps reduce total cost of ownership for institutions. Clients will gain real-time wallet visibility, faster settlement, and direct access to liquidity through Parfin’s execution infrastructure. Meanwhile, Taurus handles the policy enforcement, secure custody, and tokenization processes behind the scenes.
The companies also emphasized lower operational and settlement risks due to the integrated trading and custody workflows. Deployment is simplified through API-based architecture, allowing institutions to integrate quickly and securely.
Marcos Viriato, Co-Founder and CEO of Parfin, added:
“This partnership is a key milestone for institutions seeking global-standard infrastructure. Our integration enables clients to choose the right tools in a secure and compliant environment.”
Powering Institutional Adoption and Expanding Reach
The joint solution supports a wide range of digital asset applications—including cryptocurrencies, tokenized securities, and digital currencies—positioning it as a foundational layer for global institutional adoption.
Founded in 2019, Parfin develops blockchain software for financial institutions and is the core developer of Rayls, a blockchain-based banking platform.
Taurus, founded in 2018 and regulated by FINMA, specializes in the issuance, custody, and trading of tokenized assets and digital currencies. It also operates a private marketplace for tokenized securities and NFTs.
Taurus Momentum Builds with Global Partnerships
This latest announcement follows a string of strategic moves by Taurus in 2024 and 2025:
- March: Partnered with Turkey’s BankPozitif and launched an office in Istanbul.
- April: Collaborated with Figment and launched Taurus Network, an interbank digital asset infrastructure platform.
- May: Won Digital Asset Partnership of the Year with State Street at the 2025 Leaders in Custody Awards.
Together, Taurus and Parfin are setting the stage for a new era of compliant, scalable, and interoperable digital finance infrastructure.
