Taurus Partnership with Zand Bank in the UAE: A Boost to Digital Banking and Crypto Regulations

a year ago


The collaborative venture between Taurus, a Swiss cryptocurrency infrastructure platform, and Zand Bank in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) is set to elevate Zand's custody services, tokenization capabilities, and blockchain connectivity. Through Taurus' advanced infrastructure solutions, Zand will have the ability to tokenize financial and tangible assets across various blockchains, complying with UAE regulations. The custody services offered by Taurus will include cryptocurrencies, digital currencies, and non-fungible tokens.

Zand Bank, based in Dubai and operating without physical branches, obtained its license from the Central Bank of the UAE in 222, marking it as the first digitally native bank in the region. This move aligns with the ongoing financial infrastructure transformation initiated by the UAE government to adapt to the evolving regulatory landscape. Taurus' managing director, Bashir Kazour, expressed his enthusiasm in supporting Zand in shaping their digital asset strategy while adhering to all pertinent regulations.

The regulatory reforms by the Central Bank of the UAE encompass stringent Anti-Money Laundering measures and crackdowns on unauthorized virtual asset service providers. These efforts resulted in the UAE being removed from the Financial Action Task Force's gray list, facilitating smoother international financial transactions in the country.

The UAE's repositioning on the global financial stage has led to the introduction of new regulations, including stablecoin licensing protocols that have garnered attention for potentially complicating foreign investments. Despite this, the country has witnessed a surge in crypto companies relocating and receiving licenses, such as Binance, Crypto.com, Nexo, and others.

Taurus, with support from investors like Swiss Arab Bank, Deutsche Bank, and Credit Suisse, has expanded its services to cater to both large financial institutions and small to medium enterprises. Its integration with the Polygon blockchain and its growing presence in regions like Turkey and Canada signify its commitment to international growth and innovation in the crypto sector.
