Geneva, April 23, 2026 — Taurus, a leading digital asset infrastructure provider for financial institutions, today announced support for ZIGChain in Taurus-PROTECT, its institutional-grade custody platform.
As an asset-agnostic and blockchain-agnostic infrastructure provider, Taurus enables financial institutions to access a broad range of digital assets and blockchain networks through a single platform. Taurus already supports more than 30 blockchain protocols, and the addition of ZIGChain extends that coverage to a Layer 1 network built with the Cosmos SDK and designed for wealth-generation protocols and on-chain investment strategies.
ZIGChain is also the first Layer 1 blockchain purpose-built for Shariah-compliant institutional investment products, designed to serve the $4 trillion+ global Islamic finance market. The integration marks the first time a bank-grade European custodian has natively supported an Islamic-finance-compliant chain.
With this integration, Taurus now supports the native custody of ZIG on ZIGChain. For banks, financial institutions, and professional investors, this provides secure access to the ZIGChain ecosystem through Taurus-PROTECT, within a framework designed for security, governance, and operational resilience.
“At Taurus, we are committed to giving financial institutions secure access to the digital asset ecosystem through infrastructure that remains both asset-agnostic and blockchain-agnostic,” said Bashir Kazour, Managing Director at Taurus. “With support for ZIGChain in Taurus-PROTECT, we continue to broaden the range of networks available to clients, while maintaining the high standards they expect from Taurus.”
“This integration with Taurus is a significant step for ZIGChain’s institutional reach,” said Abdul Rafay Gadit, Co-founder and Head of Global Markets of ZIGChain. “Taurus has built a best-in-class custody infrastructure trusted by banks and financial institutions across the globe, and having ZIGChain supported natively within Taurus-PROTECT means institutional players can now access investment opportunities in our ecosystem through a framework they already trust. This is how real wealth-generation opportunities make it onto the institutional agenda, through the right infrastructure, with the right partners.”
