Wyden and Taurus have expanded their collaboration with a new integration linking Wyden’s trading technology directly to Taurus’ custody system, in a move aimed at reducing operational friction for institutions trading digital assets.
The connection allows trades to be executed directly from Taurus‑held custody accounts, removing the need for manual transfers or pre‑funded exchange wallets. Wyden founder Andy Flury said the integration “simplifies complex front‑ and back‑office processes”, giving institutions “a single, automated pathway from custody to trading and settlement”.
Taurus, whose custody platform has been gaining traction with regulated institutions — including ClearBank, which recently selected it for stablecoin wallet infrastructure — said the development closes a long‑standing gap in institutional workflows.
“We remove the gap between custody and trading for institutional clients,” said Victor Busson, the firm’s Chief Marketing Officer. “Institutions can execute and settle trades directly from custody with automated workflows and full regulatory oversight.”
The move comes as banks face increasing scrutiny over settlement processes and asset segregation, with several institutions citing fragmented infrastructure as a barrier to scaling digital‑asset services.
Taurus has been building out a wider institutional network, including the launch of Taurus‑NETWORK, an interbank digital‑asset system adopted by several Swiss institutions. The Wyden integration extends that strategy by linking custody with execution — an area where many firms still rely on bespoke or manual processes.
Wyden and Taurus have been connected through Wyden’s liquidity network since 2023, but this is their first attempt to offer a unified trading‑to‑custody workflow. Whether the model gains traction will depend on how quickly institutions adopt automated settlement chains and how supervisors assess the operational setup, but the development adds to growing pressure on infrastructure providers to deliver more integrated systems as regulatory expectations tighten.
