Taurus, the Swiss-regulated global leader in digital asset infrastructure for banks, has announced a partnership with Swiss equity token specialist Aktionariat AG.
Taurus will offer services for Ethereum-based tokenized shares issued by Aktionariat. In return, Aktionariat will allow its clients to list on the Taurus Digital Exchange (TDX).
This joint initiative is set to go live in November. It will enable tokenized small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to trade on TDX.
The partnership combines Aktionariat’s proficiency in tokenizing equity for Swiss companies with Taurus’ institutional-grade trading technology. The goal is to boost liquidity and create value for tokenized small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and their shareholders. The company stated that by offering access to TDX’s network, which includes banks, professional investors, and retail clients, the collaboration aims to expand opportunities for these tokenized firms significantly.
Murat Ögat, CEO of Aktionariat, emphasized the company’s mission to help businesses harness blockchain-based financing:
“While we offer tools for selling and informal trading of security tokens, licensed marketplaces for these tokens are limited. Taurus’ digital marketplace bridges this gap, providing value to our clients and enhancing investor relations.”

Meanwhile, Taurus has been strengthening its crypto presence through strategic partnerships in a bid to achieve its mission of making private equity as accessible as buying a book online. One recent collaboration is with Qatar Financial Centre (QFC) as part of the QFC Digital Assets Lab to enhance digital asset solutions in the region. Taurus has also partnered with Turkish neobank Misyon, allowing MisyonTech to provide virtual asset custody and tokenization services using Taurus’ technologies, which include Taurus-PROTECT™ for asset storage, Taurus-CAPITAL™ for tokenized assets, and Taurus-EXPLORER™ for blockchain infrastructure.
Security and Compliance Are Becoming More Important
The expansion of tokenized equity also brings greater attention to operational security. Aktionariat published a transparency report in July 2026 detailing a vulnerability affecting its Brokerbot smart contract and the remediation undertaken. The disclosure exposes the issue for tokenized securities, including blockchain infrastructure can improve transparency and automation, but smart-contract and operational risks remain part of the technology stack.
For institutional investors and companies, this means the success of tokenized equity will depend on more than blockchain adoption. Custody, shareholder records, regulatory compliance, smart-contract security, investor access and secondary-market liquidity all need to work together.
As the tokenization sector matures, partnerships such as Taurus and Aktionariat’s are increasingly focused on that complete infrastructure rather than token issuance alone.
With RealUnit already trading on TDX and Aktionariat reporting a larger tokenized-company and investor base in 2026, the partnership provides an example of how blockchain-based equity is gradually being connected to regulated financial markets.
