Technology giant IBM has unveiled its new Digital Asset Haven platform, a comprehensive solution designed for US institutions, businesses, and governments to securely manage digital assets. The platform will offer crypto custody and payment services, enabling direct access to onchain yield from decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols across more than 40 public blockchain networks.
Scheduled to launch as a software-as-a-service (SaaS) offering in the fourth quarter of 2025, Digital Asset Haven was developed in partnership with crypto wallet provider Dfns, which supports over 250 clients and 15 million wallets. The platform integrates end-to-end transaction lifecycle management, governance frameworks, and compliance tools, including pre-integrated KYC and AML solutions. It also features yield generation opportunities and is fortified by IBM's secure infrastructure, incorporating Multi-Party Computation (MPC) and Hardware Security Module (HSM) signing for quantum-safe operations.
Clarisse Hagège, CEO of Dfns, emphasized, "Together with IBM, we’ve built a platform that orchestrates the full digital asset ecosystem, paving the way for digital assets to move from pilot programs to production at a global scale." The initiative reflects broader trends in traditional finance, where rising adoption of stablecoins and tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) is driving institutional blockchain infrastructure demand.
According to Binance Research, tokenized stocks surged 220% in July, with blockchain addresses holding them growing from 1,600 in June to over 90,000, signaling increased investor interest. Additionally, Chainlink co-founder Sergey Nazarov highlighted at the RWA Summit 2025 that blockchain-based compliance tools, such as Chainlink's Automated Compliance Engine (ACE), could make transactions "10 times faster and cheaper" than legacy systems, potentially unlocking $100 trillion in new capital for the blockchain economy.
