IBM has officially stepped into the digital asset frontier with the launch of IBM Digital Asset Haven, a new platform designed to help banks, corporations, and governments securely manage and scale their digital asset operations — from custody and transactions to settlement.
Announced today, the platform offers a single, integrated system that tackles one of the biggest challenges in the growing world of tokenized assets and stablecoins: balancing innovation with regulatory compliance.
Developed in partnership with Dfns, a leading digital wallet infrastructure provider, the platform merges IBM’s renowned enterprise security and infrastructure with Dfns’ advanced wallet and custody technology. Dfns, which has already created over 15 million wallets for more than 250 clients, brings its technical and compliance expertise to the collaboration.
According to IBM, Digital Asset Haven is more than just a secure wallet — it’s a full-scale operating environment for digital assets. It supports over 40 blockchains, integrates KYC and AML tools, enables multi-party authorization, and even offers quantum-safe cryptography to prepare institutions for future cybersecurity threats.
“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,” said Tom McPherson, General Manager of IBM Z and LinuxONE. “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.”
Dfns CEO Clarisse Hagège emphasized that this partnership elevates the digital asset space to the same level of trust and infrastructure as traditional finance. The collaboration, she said, allows financial systems to move from pilot programs to production-ready global operations.
IBM Digital Asset Haven will be rolled out in phases — first as a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) and Hybrid SaaS offering in Q4 2025, with an on-premises version expected by mid-2026.
As tokenization continues to reshape finance, IBM’s latest move positions it as a trusted player in bridging the gap between traditional financial systems and the digital asset economy — helping institutions enter this new space with confidence, compliance, and security.
