Taurus annonce l’expansion de ses opérations avec l’ouverture d’un nouveau bureau à Dubaï

Taurus, the European leader in digital asset infrastructure, today announces the expansion of its operations with a new office in Dubai, further strengthening its technological leadership in the Middle East and Turkey region. Taurus already has several clients and partners in the region.

Bashir Kazour, based in DIFC in Dubai, leads this new office. Mr. Kazour brings over 20 years of experience in finance, capital markets, and technology, gained from Royal Bank of Canada, Standard Chartered, and FIS, a leading provider of banking and payment technologies. Over the past few years, he has worked closely with a diverse clientele ranging from sovereign funds and central banks to brokers and family offices.

“This is a new step in Taurus’ international growth and expansion. The Middle East is a region famous for its rapid adoption of blockchain technology and digital assets,” said Mr. Kazour. “Taurus is internationally recognized for its technologies related to the custody and tokenization of digital assets for banking clients and large enterprises, which perfectly matches the needs of the region. We have already begun collaborating with local regulators, central banks, and new clients.”

In recent years, the United Arab Emirates has gradually clarified its regulatory framework with the establishment of the Virtual Asset Regulatory Authority (VARA) in Dubai and other key initiatives in the field of digital assets and innovations such as ADGM and RAK DAO. Dubai and DIFC represent a natural first step for Taurus’ expansion in the region.

Today, Taurus has already solidified its position as the preferred European provider of digital asset infrastructure for banks and large enterprises, building on its market-leading position in Switzerland with over 60% market share. Among other things, Taurus recently announced a partnership with Deutsche Bank and with CACEIS, one of the leading global players in Asset Servicing. In February of this year, Taurus also closed its $65 million Series B funding round with strategic investors such as Arab Bank Switzerland, Credit Suisse, and Pictet.
