Taurus Taps Teylor to Stimulate SME Credit Access
According to a press release dated December 14, Taurus and Teylor have forged a strategic partnership to tokenize Teylor’s SME credit portfolio and provide token holders with monthly cashflows.
Per the statement, tokenizing part of Teylor’s credit portfolio on the Taurus infrastructure and TDX-regulated marketplace would allow Private Debt investors to participate in the returns through a secure blockchain-based secondary market, marking the first Luxemburg-based private debt portfolio tokenization.
Teylor CEO and Founder Patrick Stäuble lauded the partnership, noting that it would help smaller family offices and individual professional investors to participate in the company’s portfolio returns.
“The available capital of this investor class is typically not sufficient for a private transaction. With the admission of the Teylor ledger-based security on the TDX platform, we can now offer a standardized investment product. Professional investors can simply open an account and trade our security token,” Stäuble stated.While the Taurus team has a proven track record, commanding a 50%+ finance market share in Switzerland, Teylor has processed over €3 billion in SME debt over the last three years.
