The Tokenizer June 27, 2022

CACEIS is a major player in the fast-evolving asset servicing sector and aims to broaden its offering on digital assets with services that meet clients’ growing demand.

Accordingly, CACEIS signed an agreement with Taurus, a Swiss company that is a European market leader in the digital assets and blockchain space, to use its specialised platform.

CACEIS’ objective is to offer the following services by interfacing its systems with the Taurus platform and its three modules:

Secure custody of digital assets using Taurus-PROTECT, including automated corporate action processing, dividend payments and Smart Contract management,
Digital asset issuance and tokenisation on blockchain using Taurus-CAPITAL,
Connectivity with 10+ blockchains using Taurus-EXPLORER.

Arnaud Misset, Chief Digital Officer of CACEIS, stated “In addition to our traditional asset servicing, CACEIS aims to gradually extend its offering to all digital assets and provide support for clients on blockchains. Taurus is a recognised expert in the field, and the integration of its platform is a major step in CACEIS’ innovation strategy.”

Sébastien Dessimoz, co-founder of Taurus added “We are very proud to be able to support CACEIS in the deployment of its digital asset offering. The digitisation of financial instruments is the next wave of growth in digital assets and requires state-of-the-art technology to automate and simplify their processing. That’s why Taurus has built an integrated platform capable of providing comprehensive solutions to the most innovative players in the banking sector.”
