Taurus, a Swiss crypto custody firm, has partnered with Teylor, a Zurich-based fintech lending platform. This collaboration is set to bring a new wave of innovation in the German small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) sector by tokenizing SME loans.
Tokenization of SME Loans
This move by Taurus and Teylor introduces a novel approach to financing in the SME sector. Teylor, known for its expertise in the German SME marketplace, will tokenize its credit portfolio, offering these tokens for secondary market trading on Taurus’ TDX marketplace.
The structure of these tokens, supervised by law firm Allen and Overy, ensures compliance with Swiss and European regulations.
The tokenization process will be done through a Luxembourg-based investment vehicle, as confirmed by Taurus co-founder Lamine Brahimi. This initiative is poised to receive significant investment from institutional investors, marking a new era in the tokenization of traditional finance assets.
The partnership signifies a leap in financial innovation, blending traditional lending with modern blockchain technology.
Taurus has already established itself in various tokenization ventures, including equity, debt, and art, with transactions exceeding a notional value of $1 billion.
Teylor, backed by prominent investors like Barclays, caters to Germany’s thriving Mittelstand economy, offering substantial loans to businesses. The tokenization of these loans is set to provide new opportunities for German companies across diverse sectors.
