IBM has launched a new platform enabling banks, governments and enterprises to build and manage blockchain-based services with enterprise-grade security and compliance, the company said in a press release.
Developed with digital wallet infrastructure provider Dfns, the Digital Asset Haven platform enables institutions to manage the full lifecycle of digital assets – from custody to transaction and settlement – across more than 40 connected public and private blockchains.
Bloomberg was the first to report the news.
IBM said the platform integrates its Z and LinuxONE infrastructure with Dfns’ multi-party compute retention (MPC) and hardware security module (HSM) technology.
It also includes native support for governance frameworks, programmable multi-party approvals, and policy-driven compliance tools. Dfns, which has created more than 15 million wallets for 250 clients, brings expertise in digital asset custody and transaction management to the partnership.
According to Tom McPherson, IBM’s general manager for Z and LinuxONE, Digital Asset Haven “enables governments and businesses to create the next generation of financial services” with the same standards of resiliency and security as IBM’s core financial infrastructure.
Clarisse Hagège, CEO of Dfns, added that the collaboration “goes beyond custody to orchestrate the entire digital asset ecosystem,” paving the way for large-scale institutional deployment.
The launch comes as financial institutions increasingly explore tokenization and stablecoin infrastructure following clarity in US legislation under the GENIUS Act.
IBM joins a growing group of enterprise providers developing compliance-ready blockchain services amid growing demand for blockchain asset tokenization and settlement capabilities.
