P2P.org, which secures more than $10 billion in delegated assets across over 50 blockchain networks, has partnered with Taurus to bring institutional staking services to banks and financial institutions using Taurus’ digital asset platform. Summary P2P.org has integrated its staking infrastructure with Taurus, giving banks access to Ethereum and other proof-of-stake networks through Taurus PROTECT. Financial institutions can delegate assets to P2P.org validators while retaining custody and control within their existing Taurus workflows. The partnership connects Taurus’ banking client base with staking services across networks including Solana, Polkadot, Cosmos, NEAR, Cardano, and Tezos. According to a press release shared with crypto.news, the integration allows Taurus clients to access P2P.org’s validator infrastructure directly through Taurus-PROTECT, the company’s custody platform built for banks. The service launches with Ethereum staking and is connected natively 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 holdings. Beyond Ethereum, the integration also provides access to staking across several proof-of-stake networks, including Solana, Polkadot, Cosmos, NEAR, Cardano, and Tezos. Clémentine Drouot, Head of Taurus-NETWORK Partnerships at Taurus, said the partnership gives financial institutions access to staking services through infrastructure designed to meet banking standards for security, compliance, and operational oversight. Commenting on the launch, Alexander Loktev, Chief Revenue Officer at P2P.org, said regulated institutions require staking infrastructure that satisfies governance, security, and operational requirements. “By integrating with Taurus, we enable banks and financial institutions worldwide 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 clients Built into existing custody workflows, the new offering is designed to let institutions participate in staking without moving assets outside the infrastructure they already use. According to the announcement, clients continue to maintain control over their assets while staking rewards are determined by the reward mechanisms of each underlying blockchain network. Founded in 2018, P2P.org operates non-custodial validator infrastructure and reports more than $10 billion in delegated assets across over 50 proof-of-stake networks. The company said it has operated for seven years without a slashing incident, maintains SOC 2 Type II certification audited by KirkpatrickPrice, and holds an AAA Verified Staking Provider rating. For Taurus, the agreement adds another institutional service as the Swiss digital asset infrastructure provider continues expanding its presence among traditional financial institutions. In October 2025, the company opened a New York office led by capital markets executive Zack Bender, citing regulatory developments such as the GENIUS Act, the CLARITY Act, and the repeal of SAB121 as factors supporting increased digital asset adoption by banks. Recent initiatives have also included Taurus joining Circle’s Arc public testnet as a digital asset custody provider. The company has previously said it works with financial institutions including State Street, Deutsche Bank, Santander, and CACEIS, while continuing to build infrastructure focused on regulated digital asset services and tokenized assets.
