Technology giant IBM (NYSE: IBM) has unveiled IBM Digital Asset Haven, a new institutional platform designed to help financial institutions, governments, and regulated enterprises securely manage and scale their digital asset operations across multiple blockchains while maintaining strict compliance and sovereignty controls.
Developed in collaboration with digital wallet infrastructure provider Dfns, the platform combines IBM’s enterprise-grade security stack with Dfns’ custody and key-management technology. Dfns has already created more than 15 million wallets for over 250 clients globally.
IBM said the launch comes amid a surge in demand for tokenized assets and stablecoin infrastructure as banks and governments explore secure, compliant ways to participate in the digital-asset economy.
“With IBM Digital Asset Haven, our clients have the opportunity to enter and expand into the digital asset space backed by IBM’s level of security and reliability. This new, unified platform delivers the resilience and data governance they have been asking for, empowering governments and enterprises to build the next generation of financial services.”
Tom McPherson, General Manager, IBM Z and LinuxONE
IBM Digital Asset Haven will be available via SaaS and Hybrid SaaS on LinuxONE and IBM Z in Q4 2025, with an on-premises release planned for Q2 2026.
“For digital assets to be integrated into core banking and capital markets systems, the underlying infrastructure must meet the same standards as traditional financial rails. Together with IBM, we’ve built a platform that goes beyond custody to orchestrate the full digital asset ecosystem, paving the way for digital assets to move from pilot programs to production at a global scale.”
Clarisse Hagège, CEO, Dfns
