Collectively we regroup deep engineering, financial services, and regulatory expertise , to leverage blockchain and distributed ledger technologies where it makes sense. Our experience is diverse and complementary: we have designed and run critically acclaimed financial services platforms, restructured companies, developed algorithms that are currently used by your mobile phones, and contributed to defining the regulatory standards of tomorrow. Our people come from leading institutions in their field: BrevanHoward, Google, IBM Research, Kudelski Security, McKinsey & Company, Procter & Gamble, SICPA.

History & Achievements

We believe that distributed ledger technologies/blockchain will increasingly and positively impact our economy, starting with capital markets whose infrastructure has been designed decades ago.

That is why we decided to create Taurus in 2018 with the vision to build one of the first regulated digital asset exchange.

Back then, the available infrastructure was not meeting our needs nor those of institutional players such as stock exchanges, banks, asset managers.

So, we took a big breath and decided to start building it from the ground up. Now that we have done it, we are improving it and are building financial services layers to fulfil our vision.
