German SME credit to be tokenized
Taurus, a Swiss company that handles digital asset custody and issuance infrastructure, announced on the 14th a partnership with Taylor, a German fintech financing platform specializing in the small and medium-sized enterprise market.
The two companies say the purpose of the partnership is to tokenize loans for small and medium-sized businesses in Germany. This is likely to be part of the movement toward tokenization of real-world assets (RWA), which has been attracting increasing attention from the financial industry recently.
What is RWA?
Abbreviation for “Real World Asset.” RWA that is tokenized on the blockchain includes real assets such as real estate, artwork, trading cards, and securities such as stocks and bonds.

A portion of Taylor’s small business credit portfolio will be tokenized using Taurus’ infrastructure and TDX, a regulated exchange operated by Taurus. This is expected to enable professional private bond investors to generate returns through a secure blockchain-based secondary market.
Taylor is a Swiss technology company that has developed software that allows financial institutions to build and offer digital credit products. Taylor’s software allows banks to digitize their lending processes and products, reducing costs.
Small businesses can also gain rapid access to capital through Taylor’s proprietary private debt funds.
Ramin Brahimi, Managing Partner and Co-Founder of Taurus, commented:
Private small business debt has long been an illiquid asset class because non-institutional investors have little access to secondary markets.
Taylor ledger-based digital securities allow investors to invest in smaller amounts than before and trade their tokens on the TDX exchange.
Taylor has a track record of handling over 470 billion yen (3 billion euros) of small and medium-sized business debt over the past three years. Additionally, the underlying portfolio of Taylor Ledger-based securities is comprised of German small and medium-sized enterprises credit with stable cash flows.
Brahimi also said that the tokenization process will be carried out through a Luxembourg-based investment firm and is designed to comply with both Swiss and European regulations.
Torus movement
European financial giant Deutsche Bank also announced a partnership with Taurus in September. This move is aimed at expanding into virtual currency storage services and asset tokenization businesses.
