Swiss custody firm Taurus integrates Everstake to boost institutional staking access
Swiss digital-asset infrastructure provider Taurus has entered into a partnership with validator operator Everstake to offer enterprise-grade staking directly within its custody platform. The collaboration, announced on Tuesday, will allow banks and institutional clients to earn yield across major proof-of-stake (PoS) networks without compromising control over their private keys.
Staking access is built into custody workflows
Under the integration, Taurus’s FINMA-regulated custody stack will support delegating assets such as Solana (SOL), Near Protocol (NEAR), Cardano (ADA), and Tezos (XTZ) to Everstake’s validators. Clients maintain operational control through their existing custody workflows, while Everstake supplies the underlying validator infrastructure.
Everstake, which operates across more than 80 PoS networks and oversees roughly $7 billion in staked assets, will power the enterprise staking layer.
Taurus expands global institutional services
Founded in 2018, Taurus offers a suite of institutional-grade digital asset services, including custody, trading, issuance, and tokenization. The firm has continued to expand its global footprint this year, including a May partnership with Parfin to bring tokenization services to Latin America.
Institutional staking momentum builds
Institutional interest in staking has steadily climbed as regulated infrastructure becomes more widely available. Lido launched its institutional-focused stVaults earlier this year with Lido v3, offering customizable compliance-ready setups for ETH staking. Coinbase also broadened its Figment integration in October, enabling institutional staking for a broader range of PoS assets through its custody arm.
Anchorage Digital recently added HYPE staking to its Hyperliquid offer, powered by Figment and accessible through both its U.S. bank and its Singapore entity. The firm also expanded staking support with Starknet’s STRK in September, expanding institutional access to the asset and its yield-generating features
With the latest integration, Taurus is positioning itself to meet rising demand from large financial institutions seeking secure, compliant exposure to yield-generating PoS networks.
