    With the move, Sygnum joins Taurus' other notable clients including banking and investment group Vontobel, Arab Bank Switzerland, SEBA Bank (the other B2B institution to hold a FINMA banking license in Switzerland), and Hypothekarbank Lenzburg.

    Following the April 2020 announcement of a €10 million series A ($11.8 million), Taurus has expanded to become a major digital asset infrastructure provider for financial institutions in Europe, the firm said.

    It offers a range of digital asset solutions including custody, brokerage, tokenization, asset management and B2B banking.

    "We launched Taurus Group back in 2018 to answer a growing need for enterprise-grade custody solutions by financial industry players interested in digital assets," said Taurus co-founder Jean-Philippe Aumasso. "Taurus is now one of the few companies in the world to master the full technology stack."
