🤝 As our partnership with State Street nears its one-year milestone, we sat down to reflect on our accomplishments, including being named Digital Asset Partnership of the Year 🏆. Vassili Lavrov, Head of Product at Taurus, and Zahid Mustafa, Head of Digital Assets Custody at State Street, discussed the progress so far and the outlook for the industry. In just twelve months, our teams have delivered what many in the industry are still preparing for: ✅ Rapid infrastructure deployment: State Street and Taurus stood up foundational infrastructure in under a year. The pace of execution was unprecedented and marked a key technical milestone. ✅ End-to-end capability enablement: State Street can now offer a full range of digital asset services. The platform supports tokenization, digital currencies (including tokenized deposits and stablecoins), and future connectivity to CBDCs. It also connects to digital securities depositaries and third-party platforms, enabling flexible settlement methods such as delivery versus payment and payment versus payment. ✅ Strategic vision and open architecture: Taurus’ modular and interoperable architecture allows State Street to operate in fully in-house, fully outsourced, or hybrid models. Whether managing tokenization and custody directly or working with third-party tokenizers and transfer agents, the platform ensures seamless integration and secure custody. ✅ Future-proofing and market readiness: The partnership lays the foundation for State Street’s Digital Asset Platform (DAP), powered by Taurus. This enables State Street to build a scalable and future-ready infrastructure that can adapt as the market evolves. ✅ Business use case enablement: The infrastructure is designed for real business needs from day one, including custody of tokenized funds and securities. The ability to move quickly from infrastructure to execution has been a key differentiator. 👉 Read more about our partnership here:  https://xmrrwallet.com/cmx.plnkd.in/edBAQW4x

Gianluca Di Meo, our Institutional Technology Sales Executive for the UK and Nordics, spoke last week at the Nordic Blockchain Conference, joining the panel: “Crypto Custody Evolved: From Safe Storage to Strategic Asset Stewardship.” Alongside Gerry Afentakis (Zodia Custody), Yichen Wu (Tesseract), and Brett Reeves (BitGo), the panel explored how custody is shifting from a security function to a strategic part of institutional digital asset infrastructure.

Yesterday in Madrid, Taurus and NEITEC co-hosted a roundtable on private credit in emerging markets. Antonio Sundas, our Market Leader for Southern Europe and LATAM, delivered a keynote titled “Technological Infrastructure & Digital Asset Custody,” focusing on the infrastructure needed to support digital finance in emerging markets. We also had the pleasure of welcoming Julio Ferrón (NEITEC), Fernando Navarro (White & Case Spain; Head of Banking, Spain), and Paula Pascual Cortes (MERGE Madrid) for a discussion on how private credit is helping close the $5.7T SME financing gap and the role of digital asset infrastructure in scaling capital deployment.
