P2P.org, which secures over $10 billion in delegated assets across more than 50 blockchain networks, has partnered with Taurus to offer institutional staking services to banks and financial institutions using Taurus’ digital asset platform.
Summary
- P2P.org has integrated its staking infrastructure with Taurus, allowing banks to access Ethereum and other proof-of-stake networks through Taurus PROTECT.
- Financial institutions can delegate assets to P2P.org validators while maintaining custody and control within their existing Taurus workflows.
- The partnership connects Taurus’ banking clientele to staking services on networks including Solana, Polkadot, Cosmos, NEAR, Cardano and Tezos.
According to a press release shared with crypto.news, the integration allows Taurus customers to access P2P.org’s validation infrastructure directly through Taurus-PROTECT, the company’s custody platform designed for banks. The service launches with Ethereum staking and is natively connected to the Beacon Chain deposit contract.
Financial institutions using Taurus-PROTECT can delegate assets to P2P.org validators while retaining custody and control of their assets. Beyond Ethereum, the integration also provides access to staking on multiple proof-of-stake networks, including Solana, Polkadot, Cosmos, NEAR, Cardano, and Tezos.
Clémentine Drouot, Head of Taurus-NETWORK Partnerships at Taurus, said the partnership allows financial institutions to access staking services through infrastructure designed to meet banking standards for security, compliance and operational monitoring.
Commenting on the launch, Alexander Loktev, Chief Revenue Officer at P2P.org, said regulated institutions need staking infrastructure that meets governance, security and operational requirements.
“By integrating with Taurus, we enable banks and financial institutions around the world to access institutional-grade staking services directly within the digital asset platform they already use, reducing operational complexity and accelerating time to market. »
Taurus Adds Staking Capabilities for Banking Customers
Integrated with existing custody workflows, the new offering is designed to allow institutions to participate in staking without moving assets outside of the infrastructure they already use.
According to the announcement, clients continue to maintain control of their assets while staking rewards are determined by the reward mechanisms of each underlying blockchain network.
Founded in 2018, P2P.org operates a non-custodial validation infrastructure and reports over $10 billion in delegated assets across 50+ proof-of-stake networks. The company said it has operated for seven years without an outage incident, maintains SOC 2 Type II certification audited by KirkpatrickPrice, and holds the AAA Verified Staking Provider rating.
For Taurus, the deal adds another institutional service as the Swiss digital asset infrastructure provider continues to expand its presence among traditional financial institutions. In October 2025, the company opened an office in New York led by Zack Bender, head of capital markets, citing regulatory developments such as the GENIUS Act, the CLARITY Act and the repeal of SAB121 as factors driving increased adoption of digital assets by banks.
Recent initiatives have also included Taurus joining Circle’s Arc public testnet as a digital asset custody provider. The company previously said it was working with financial institutions such as State Street, Deutsche Bank, Santander and CACEIS, while continuing to build infrastructure focused on regulated digital asset services and tokenized assets.
