IBM today unveiled Digital Asset Haven, a new platform created to assist regulated businesses and financial institutions in joining the digital asset market.

The platform, according to the tech business, would allow for safe engagement in blockchain-based ecosystems while upholding compliance standards for highly regulated enterprises.

The details of Digital Asset Haven

IBM’s Digital Asset Haven, created in partnership with Dfns, provides policy-based governance, transaction lifecycle management, and safe custody for over 40 blockchains.

IBM’s move to assist tokenised finance and institutional blockchain adoption is indicated by the platform’s integration of hardware-backed key security, quantum-safe encryption, and compliance-ready capabilities.

Additionally, it has policy-driven compliance tools, programmable multi-party approvals, and native support for governance frameworks. Dfns contributes digital asset custody and transaction management experience to the collaboration, having built more than 15 million wallets for 250 clients.

Digital Asset Haven “empowers governments and enterprises to build the next generation of financial services” with the same security and resilience requirements as IBM’s core financial infrastructure, according to Tom McPherson, IBM General Manager for Z and LinuxONE.

The launch comes after U.S. regulatory clarification under the GENIUS Act, which has led financial institutions to investigate tokenisation and stablecoin infrastructure further. 

As demand for asset tokenisation and blockchain settlement capabilities increases, IBM joins an expanding group of corporate vendors creating blockchain services that are suitable for compliance.

The availability

It is anticipated that IBM Digital Asset Haven will be accessible through SaaS in Q4 2025 and Hybrid SaaS utilising LinuxONE and/or IBM Z in Q4 2025. On-premises deployment is scheduled for Q2 2026.

With pre-integrated services for identity verification (KYC), financial crime prevention (AML), yield generation, and other areas, integrated third-party solutions are made to speed up implementation.  

Additional integrations can be implemented by clients using tools, SDKs, and developer-friendly REST APIs. In order to spur innovation, this approach puts developers and partners in a position to link their products with IBM Digital Asset Haven.

Institutional interest in crypto

IBM is a top supplier of AI, hybrid cloud, and consulting services worldwide.  We assist customers in over 175 nations in gaining a competitive edge in their sectors, streamlining corporate procedures, cutting expenses, and leveraging insights from their data.

Therefore, this is a clear sign that institutional interest is only increasing when it comes to digital assets. Cryptocurrency, which was once treated as taboo in the finance world, is now being given equal importance and acceptance by institutional giants like IBM.
