Taurus, a digital asset infrastructure provider, has partnered with Everstake, a non-custodial staking provider, to integrate Everstake's staking infrastructure into the Taurus digital asset platform. The collaboration, announced on December 2, 2025, aims to provide Taurus' banking and institutional clients with access to secure and compliant staking services while maintaining control and ownership of their assets through the Taurus-PROTECT platform.
The integration will enable Taurus clients to stake digital assets and earn rewards across Proof-of-Stake (PoS) networks, including Solana, NEAR Protocol, Cardano, and Tezos. By combining Everstake's staking technology with Taurus' regulated custody infrastructure, institutions can participate in network consensus and staking operations without compromising compliance, transparency, or operational control.
Victor Busson, chief marketing officer at Taurus, stated that the partnership with Everstake expands the staking options available to their institutional clients while upholding Taurus' standards for security, governance, and regulatory compliance. He added that it demonstrates their commitment to enabling banks and financial institutions to participate in the digital asset ecosystem safely and at scale.
Bohdan Opryshko, co-founder and chief operating officer at Everstake, emphasized that institutional adoption depends on infrastructure that meets the same standards as traditional finance. He believes that together with Taurus, they are providing a foundation where compliance, security, and scalability are built-in, allowing financial institutions to engage in staking with confidence.
Taurus-PROTECT is a custody solution designed for banks and regulated institutions, supporting the end-to-end lifecycle management of tokenized assets. The platform offers banking-grade security, including HSM signature mechanisms, MPC algorithms, and hot, warm, and cold storage options. It also provides orchestration capabilities, allowing for the management of wallets, addresses, and smart contracts with granular governance rules.
Everstake is a global non-custodial staking provider for both institutional and retail clients. The company offers enterprise-grade staking infrastructure that allows users to stake their digital assets while maintaining control of their private keys.
The partnership between Taurus and Everstake addresses the growing institutional demand for staking services within a secure and compliant framework. By integrating Everstake's staking infrastructure into Taurus-PROTECT, clients can access staking rewards while adhering to regulatory requirements and maintaining operational control. This collaboration aims to bridge the gap between traditional finance and the digital asset ecosystem, making decentralized finance (DeFi) more accessible and appealing to institutions. As regulatory clarity around digital assets advances, integrated solutions that blend staking technology with robust, regulated custody are expected to become a key component of institutional digital asset strategies.
