IBM has announced the launch of “Digital Asset Haven,” a new platform designed to help banks, governments, and major corporations securely navigate the world of digital assets and cryptocurrencies. This solution comes at a time when institutional demand for stablecoins and tokenized real-world assets is rising, driven by the need for faster, more cost-effective cross-border payments and asset management.

Digital Asset Haven provides a unified foundation for digital asset custody, transaction management, and settlement, supporting over 40 public and private blockchains. The platform streamlines wallet management and enables programmable policy-based governance, making integration with existing banking systems straightforward and compliant with global regulations.

Institutions using Digital Asset Haven benefit from advanced security features, including multi-party computation (MPC), hardware security modules (HSMs), and confidential computing. These ensure that assets and transactions remain protected, while pre-integrated services cover identity verification, anti-money laundering (AML) checks, and financial crime prevention.

Banks and financial services providers can embed “buy, sell, and hold” digital asset functionality directly into their platforms, giving clients access to the cryptocurrency market within a secure and regulated environment. Stablecoin settlements allow for near-instant cross-border payments, with transaction finality achieved in real time.

Developed in partnership with leading crypto wallet companies, IBM’s Digital Asset Haven supports on-chain yield generation through DeFi protocols and offers flexible APIs for developers. The platform is set to launch as a software-as-a-service solution, with availability expected in the final quarter of 2025 and broader support planned for 2026.

IBM’s commitment to combining enterprise-grade security with regulatory compliance positions Digital Asset Haven as a transformative option for institutions entering the digital asset economy. Financial institutions, governments, and businesses now have a path to modernize their operations and unlock new value in the digital financial ecosystem.
