TLDR: Morpho is integrated into Taurus-PROTECT, a leading digital asset custody and servicing technology solution for financial institutions. The integration will enable banks, asset managers, and other financial institutions to access onchain lending strategies and develop yield products through Taurus’ custody infrastructure.

By natively integrating Morpho Vaults into Taurus-PROTECT, Taurus enables clients to allocate capital directly onchain all within with their existing regulatory frameworks, approval workflows, and operational controls. Taurus’ integration will be made available to more than 40 financial institutions across four continents, reflecting accelerating demand for Morpho Vaults.

“Custody technology providers are becoming the critical access layer between traditional finance institutions and onchain markets,” said Victor Busson, CMO at Taurus. “Taurus’ integration with Morpho marks a structural shift – we allow institutions to engage at scale with Morpho onchain credit markets and develop innovative products on top of banking-grade financial infrastructure. This integration is unique in that it is available from both Taurus’ hot and cold environments for maximum security.”

Morpho provides open, programmable infrastructure that enables custodians, asset managers, and financial platforms to embed lending and yield products directly within their own environments. Its vault architecture allows institutions to deploy and curate structured lending strategies with transparent risk parameters, enabling a new model of programmable, scalable and noncustodial onchain asset management.

“Vaults are becoming the foundation for institutional asset management onchain,” said Paul Frambot, Co-founder and CEO of Morpho. “By integrating Morpho directly into custody infrastructure, Taurus enables financial institutions not only to access lending markets, but to deliver curated onchain strategies to their clients in a secure and compliant way. This is how onchain finance becomes a complementary product suite within the core of the financial system.”

The integration also reflects Europe’s growing role as a hub for institutional digital asset infrastructure. With clear regulatory frameworks and active participation from banks and custodians, European providers are at the forefront of embedding onchain financial infrastructure directly within institutional custody environments.
