IBM has launched Digital Asset Haven, a new platform that enables financial institutions, corporations, and governments to manage digital assets securely and at scale.
The solution supports the entire asset lifecycle, from custody to transactions and settlement, while meeting sovereignty, security, and compliance requirements.
Developed with digital wallet infrastructure provider Dfns, the platform combines IBM’s enterprise security with Dfns’ custody technology.
Dfns has created over 15 million wallets for more than 250 clients worldwide.
With tokenized assets and stablecoins gaining traction, IBM said the platform helps institutions modernize their offerings and enter the digital asset economy with greater assurance.
It features key residency controls, multi-party approvals, and policy-based governance frameworks for regulated organizations.
Digital Asset Haven supports transactions across more than 40 public and private blockchains and includes tools for governance, access management, and integrations with third-party services for identity verification, anti-money laundering, and yield generation.
Developer-friendly APIs and SDKs allow partners to build and integrate new capabilities.
Security relies on IBM’s Multi-Party Computation and Hardware Security Module (HSM) technology, using IBM Crypto Express 8S HSMs embedded in IBM Z and LinuxONE.
The platform also incorporates the IBM Offline Signing Orchestrator for regulatory cold storage requirements and offers quantum-safe cryptography guidance for key management and compliance.
IBM Digital Asset Haven will be available via SaaS and Hybrid SaaS on LinuxONE and IBM Z in the fourth quarter of 2025, with an on-premises version planned for the second quarter of 2026.
