Swiss-based Taurus, a leading provider of crypto infrastructure services, has set its sights on the burgeoning North American market. Marking its eighth global office, Taurus has opened its doors in Vancouver, Canada.

This strategic expansion comes on the heels of successful office launches in London, Paris, Frankfurt, and Dubai in late 2023. The Vancouver office positions Taurus to capitalize on the growing demand for crypto services from financial institutions across North America.

Veteran Tech Leader Steers the Canadian Charge

Leading the Vancouver office is Andrew Maledy, a seasoned professional with extensive experience in infrastructure management, business technology, and cloud computing. Maledy's expertise, encompassing engineering management, agile methodologies, and cloud computing, positions him perfectly to spearhead Taurus' operations in North America.

"North America presents a hotbed for innovation in digital assets," says Maledy. "We're thrilled to establish a presence in Vancouver, allowing us to serve both our global and North American clients effectively."

Taurus CTO, Nicolas Bonvin, echoes this sentiment, expressing his delight in welcoming Maledy to lead the Vancouver office. He looks forward to collaborating with regional partners and clients to deliver cutting-edge solutions powered by Taurus' industry-leading custody and tokenization technology.

Deutsche Bank Joins Forces with Taurus

This North American expansion coincides with Deutsche Bank's recent announcement to join the Monetary Authority of Singapore's (MAS) Project Guardian. Launched in 2022, Project Guardian fosters collaboration between MAS and key financial institutions, focusing on asset tokenization in wholesale funding markets and decentralized finance (DeFi) applications.

Working within Project Guardian, Deutsche Bank will collaborate with Taurus to evaluate open architecture and interoperable blockchain platforms for managing tokenized and digital funds. Their combined expertise will be crucial in suggesting protocol standards and identifying optimal pathways to support industry-wide progress.

With a new office in Vancouver and a collaborative partnership with Deutsche Bank, Taurus is poised to play a significant role in shaping the future of crypto infrastructure in North America and beyond.
