Deutsche Bank-backed Taurus and Blockdaemon team up to power institutional staking services

Taurus, a leading provider of digital asset infrastructure backed by Deutsche Bank, Credit Suisse, and State Street, has joined forces with Blockdaemon, which powers institutional staking across over 60 protocols, to bring institutional-grade staking services to global banks and financial institutions.

With this collaboration, Taurus clients can now stake assets across major proof-of-stake (PoS) networks through Blockdaemon’s infrastructure while maintaining custody via Taurus-PROTECT, the company’s bank-focused custody solution.

“Our collaboration with Blockdaemon broadens the staking services available to our institutional clients, while maintaining the security and compliance standards they expect,” Victor Busson, Chief Marketing Officer at Taurus, stated. “It’s another step in making digital asset participation more accessible for banks and financial institutions.”

Institutional staking requires highly available infrastructure with robust security and governance frameworks, said Andrew Vranjes, Blockdaemon’s Chief Revenue Officer.

He noted that by integrating with Taurus, banks and regulated financial institutions can tap Blockdaemon’s multi-network staking and earn services within a secure custody setup, preserving operational resilience, policy oversight, and full asset ownership across PoS networks.
