Taurus Partners With Everstake to Bring Enterprise Staking to Institutional Custody
- Taurus integrates Everstake’s staking infrastructure to offer compliant, non-custodial staking to institutional clients.
- Banks can stake Solana, NEAR, Cardano and Tezos while keeping full asset control.
- Partnership strengthens Taurus’ regulated custody platform and expands institutional access to Proof-of-Stake networks.
Taurus has partnered with Everstake to embed the staking provider’s non-custodial infrastructure into its regulated Taurus-PROTECT custody platform. This integration extends Taurus’ offering for banks and institutions that already rely on the system for secure digital-asset storage. Both companies say the arrangement is designed to support compliance-aligned staking within a controlled operational framework.
The collaboration grants Taurus clients access to staking on Solana, NEAR Protocol, Cardano, and Tezos, allowing them to maintain direct control of their private keys as they participate in Proof-of-Stake networks. These networks form the initial supported lineup available at launch through the merged infrastructure. With this approach, institutions can perform staking activities while preserving governance structures and auditability requirements.

Taurus’ Expansion Strategy
Taurus said the move fits its plan to broaden the on-chain services available to regulated financial institutions as the digital-asset sector develops. The firm noted that introducing Everstake’s validators ensures access to staking without compromising transparency or security obligations. According to Chief Marketing Officer Victor Busson, the partnership “demonstrates our continued commitment to enabling global banks and financial institutions to participate in the digital asset ecosystem safely and at scale.”
Our partnership with Everstake expands the range of staking options available to our institutional clients while maintaining Taurus’ standards for security, governance, and regulatory compliance.
Victor Busson, Chief Marketing Officer at Taurus Everstake operates validators across more than 80 networks and supports roughly US$7 billion (AU$10.78 billion) in staked assets, offering infrastructure designed for institutional-grade operations. Chief Operating Officer Bohdan Opryshko said institutional participation requires systems built to match the safeguards expected in regulated finance.
Together with Taurus, we’re providing a foundation where compliance, security, and scalability are built in – allowing financial institutions to engage in staking with the same confidence they apply to any other regulated operation.
Bohdan Opryshko, Chief Operating Officer of Everstake The partnership streamlines staking within a single custody setup, giving banks full control throughout. Taurus said unifying custody and staking strengthens its institutional offering as demand grows, creating a compliant, resilient foundation for long-term participation in Proof-of-Stake networks.
