Backed by institutional investors such as Credit Suisse, Deutsche Bank, Arab Bank Switzerland, Lombard Odier, and Pictet Group, Taurus raised $65 million in 2023.

According to Taurus HQ , the core of the collaboration between Zand and Taurus is the provision of best-in-class institutional-grade custody for digital assets.

Leveraging Taurus-PROTECT™, Zand can implement defense-in-depth security on its custodial wallets with multi-layered security controls, including, hot and cold HSM environments for optimizing efficiency and security, programmable rules, and robotic process automation (RPA) features.

The partnership between Zand Bank and Taurus comes in the wake of the UAE Central Bank (CBUAE) publishing its stablecoin regulations allowing certain UAE entities to deal with AED stablecoins and foreign-regulated stablecoins.

According to the CBUAE, a bank may not act as a Payment Token Issuer, but may, subject to the licensing and other requirements of this regulation, set up a subsidiary, affiliate or other related entity to perform this activity.
