IBM unveiled a solution for banks, corporations, and government entities that enables secure and compliant digital asset management.
IBM, the American multinational corporation and one of the world’s largest providers of hardware, software, IT services, and consulting, announced the launch of Digital Asset Haven, a platform designed for financial institutions, government organizations, and large enterprises. The solution offers a full lifecycle for digital asset operations and helps market participants meet regulatory requirements while integrating digital currencies and tokenized assets into their systems.
Developed in collaboration with Dfns, a company specializing in digital wallet infrastructure, Digital Asset Haven supports over 40 public and private blockchains, automating processes from transaction routing and monitoring to settlements. The platform includes access management tools such as multi-party authorization schemes and flexible compliance rules. It also provides integration with third-party solutions for KYC, AML, and yield generation via REST API and SDK, accelerating deployment and ecosystem growth.
Security is built on IBM Z and LinuxONE technologies, including multi-party computation (MPC), IBM Crypto Express 8S HSM hardware security modules, and the Hyper Protect Offline Signing Orchestrator (OSO) cold storage solution for cryptocurrencies launched in 2023. The platform also features quantum-safe cryptography, making it resilient to future threats from quantum computing.
According to Tom McPherson, General Manager of IBM Z and LinuxONE, Digital Asset Haven will provide clients entering the digital asset market with the resilience and flexibility they need for data management. “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,” said McPherson.
Digital Asset Haven will be available via SaaS in Q4 2025, with an on-premise version expected in Q2 2026.
A forecast by State Street and Oxford Economics predicts that the average share of digital assets in institutional investment portfolios could rise from 7% to 16% by 2028.
