- Taurus Expands Stellar Support for Institutional Smart-Contract Assets — this brief
Taurus, a digital asset infrastructure provider, has announced the integration of 
Stellar-based smart-contract assets into its institutional custody and issuance platform. This move allows institutional clients to manage Stellar's smart-contract assets using the same custody controls they apply to other digital assets.
The integration is designed to provide a secure and compliant environment for institutions to engage with Stellar's ecosystem. By extending its custody services to include smart-contract assets, Taurus aims to facilitate broader institutional participation in the Stellar network.
The development comes at a time when the overall crypto market is experiencing a downturn, with 
Bitcoin down 2.16% in the last 24 hours and the Fear & Greed index at 26, indicating a 'Fear' sentiment. Stellar's native token, XLM, is also down 3.50% in the past day, currently trading at $0.162593 with a market cap of $5.74 billion.
This integration highlights the growing trend of traditional financial institutions seeking to engage with blockchain-based smart-contract platforms. By offering custody solutions for Stellar's smart-contract assets, Taurus is positioning itself as a key player in bridging the gap between traditional finance and the decentralized finance (DeFi) space.
The move may encourage other institutional service providers to follow suit, potentially leading to increased adoption of Stellar's technology. Investors and market participants will be watching for further developments in institutional adoption of Stellar and other smart-contract platforms.

The chart plots XLM's price: grey is the move before this brief published, the vertical dashed line marks the moment it published, the horizontal dashed line is the price then, and the coloured area is the move since — from Token Times's market data (daily resolution). It shows what happened after the news, not that the news caused it; many factors move prices. Not financial advice.
At today's peer-to-peer rate, 1 XLM ≈ ₹16.91 (about $0.1618), down 4.2% over 24 hours. The rupee itself trades about 10.1% above the official rate on the P2P market, so a Indian buyer's effective cost differs from the headline dollar price.
