Launching in Q4 2025 as a software-as-a-service (SaaS) product, the platform aims to simplify access to digital assets while meeting enterprise-grade compliance standards.
IBM has announced Digital Asset Haven, a new software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform launching in Q4 2025, designed to help U.S. businesses and government entities integrate crypto custody and payment services into their existing financial systems. Developed in partnership with crypto wallet provider Dfns, the platform enables users to earn on-chain yield from DeFi protocols across more than 40 public blockchains, while providing unified tools for token governance, regulatory compliance, AML/KYC integrations, and identity verification. According to IBM, the growing adoption of stablecoins and tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) is fueling institutional demand for secure and compliant blockchain infrastructure.
Dfns CEO Clarisse Hagège stated that the system “goes beyond custody,” managing every aspect of digital asset operations under traditional financial standards. The launch underscores IBM’s deeper push into the blockchain economy, offering enterprises a secure and scalable solution for digital asset management. Recent Binance Research data revealed a 220% surge in tokenized equities and a rise in wallets holding such assets from 1,600 to 90,000 in a single month. At the RWA Summit 2025, Chainlink co-founder Sergey Nazarov emphasized blockchain’s potential to make compliant financial transactions “ten times faster and cheaper” than legacy systems a vision aligned with IBM’s move to bridge traditional finance and digital asset ecosystems.
