rewrite this title Taurus–Everstake Launch Institutional Staking Alliance to Unlock Billions in PoS Yields Worldwide

Key Takeaways:

Taurus has integrated Everstake’s enterprise staking infrastructure into its regulated digital-asset platform, giving banks access to compliant PoS rewards.Institutions can now stake major assets including SOL, NEAR, ADA, and XTZ while maintaining full asset control through Taurus-PROTECT custody.The partnership aims to accelerate global institutional staking by combining regulatory-grade security with high-uptime infrastructure trusted for more than $7B in staked assets.

Global digital-asset infrastructure provider Taurus has formed a strategic partnership with Everstake, one of the world’s largest non-custodial staking operators, marking a major step in bringing regulated staking solutions to banks and financial institutions. The collaboration enables institutions to safely participate in Proof-of-Stake (PoS) networks at scale without compromising governance, compliance, or custody standards.

A Strategic Push to Expand Institutional-Grade Staking Access

Taurus’ integration of Everstake directly into its digital-asset platform gives institutional clients a straightforward way to stake leading PoS assets while keeping full control of their private keys. This access is powered by Taurus-PROTECT; the company’s custody system built specifically for regulated banks.

Taurus said that the infrastructure provided by Everstake increases the availability of staking on networks including Solana (SOL), NEAR Protocol (NEAR), Cardano (ADA), and Tezos (XTZ) – environments where institutions are starting to seek opportunities to generate yields on.

The reasons that institutional staking are accelerating today. The staking interest by institutions has increased dramatically with the maturity of PoS networks. The appeal is clear:

Predictable reward structures,No exposure to complex DeFi strategies,And returns generated directly from network participation rather than speculative trading.

However, institutions typically avoid running their own validators because of strict compliance rules, operational complexity, and high security requirements. There are providers such as Taurus and Everstake that offer a controlled access point without the user having to deal with infrastructure.

Regulated Infrastructure Meets High-Uptime Staking Performance

Everstake is a prominent figure in the industry with 80+ networks and 99.98% uptime and over $7 billion of supported assets. The certifications such as SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001:2022, and adherence to GDPR and CCPA among others put the company in the small group of staking providers that can be used by large-scale institutions.

The new partnership gives Taurus clients the track record of performance of Everstake and distribution by global validators of Everstake that mitigates the risk of single-point failure. Taurus noted that integration ensures that all controls are in line with banking grade requirements so that the institutions are in full control of their assets during the staking process.

Custody First, The Core Requirement for Banks Entering Crypto

Taurus’ regulated custody framework remains the backbone of the partnership. Because banks and asset managers must adhere to long-standing operational and governance rules, staking can only happen if custody solutions support:

Hardware-secured key management,Segregation of assets,Auditable transaction flows,And compliance with supervisory regulations.

Taurus-PROTECT is already used by financial institutions in multiple jurisdictions and supervised by FINMA, Switzerland’s financial regulator. Adding Everstake’s validator infrastructure into this environment lowers the barrier to staking participation for institutions that previously viewed the operational burden as too high.

Industry Leaders Highlight the Shift Toward Institutional-Ready Staking

Taurus CMO Victor Busson said the partnership broadens the range of staking options institutions can access while preserving Taurus’ standards for security and compliance. His statement reflects a broader trend: banking clients are increasingly looking for yield-generating digital-asset services that align with regulated frameworks.

Everstake COO and Co-Founder Bohdan Opryshko reinforced the message, noting that institutions will only adopt staking when infrastructure reaches a quality threshold comparable to traditional finance. The collaboration, he said, delivers this by merging Taurus’ regulatory foundation with Everstake’s high-availability systems.

The two companies emphasized that the institutions require solutions, which fit within the current compliance frameworks such as the auditability, jurisdiction-based regulations, and risk-reducing controls. The joint venture is meant to fulfill these expectations and allow effective participation in PoS networks.

Having been established in 2018, Taurus has established itself in 13 international offices and offers the entire range of digital-asset services, such as token issuance, custody, and trading. The company also operates a private assets and tokenized securities marketplace, which places the company in the convergence of digital assets and regulated finance.
