The tech giant announced IBM Digital Asset Haven. This new platform is designed to help financial institutions, governments, and corporations. The goal is to securely manage their digital assets across multiple blockchains.
For cautious banks and enterprises, IBM offers a bridge between traditional finance and blockchain. It will be wrapped in the security and compliance the company is known for.
A New Era of Institutional-Grade Digital Asset Management
At its core, IBM Digital Asset Haven provides a single, secure environment for institutions to handle every stage of a digital asset’s lifecycle—from custody and transactions to settlement and monitoring. Built in collaboration with Dfns, a leader in digital wallet infrastructure, the platform combines IBM’s enterprise-grade security with Dfns’s custody expertise. Dfns has already created more than 15 million digital wallets for over 250 clients, underscoring the scale and reliability behind the collaboration.
As global adoption of tokenized assets and stablecoins accelerates, the need for regulated, trustworthy infrastructure has never been greater. According to Boston Consulting Group, the tokenization of real-world assets could represent $16 trillion in value by 2030. IBM’s new platform aims to prepare institutions for that future by ensuring compliance, security, and performance in every transaction.

Digital Asset Haven’s key features include transaction lifecycle management across 40+ blockchains. Also, governance tools for wallet access and policy control, and integrated services for compliance tasks. For example, Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML). Developers can also connect third-party apps through APIs and SDKs, fostering a flexible, open ecosystem.
Building Trust and Security for the Long Term
What sets IBM’s approach apart is its focus on holistic security. The platform is built on Multi-Party Computation (MPC) and Hardware Security Modules (HSMs). These are the same systems used in high-stakes banking operations. It also includes quantum-safe cryptography guidance and the IBM Offline Signing Orchestrator for secure cold storage. This will ensure assets remain safe even in offline environments.

Tom McPherson, IBM’s General Manager for Z and LinuxONE, said the goal is to let clients “enter and expand into the digital asset space backed by IBM’s level of security and reliability.” Clarisse Hagège, CEO of Dfns, added that this partnership moves digital assets “from pilot programs to production at a global scale.”
