Digital Asset Haven : IBM announced on October 27, 2025, the launch of Digital Asset Haven, a platform designed for financial institutions, governments, and companies. The platform helps organizations manage their digital assets securely, and moreover, it simplifies their operational processes. Developed in partnership with the French startup Dfns, the solution covers the entire life cycle of digital assets. It manages everything from custody to resale, including the settlement of transactions in a fully compliant environment.
Digital Asset Haven : a turnkey solution for digital asset management
Digital Asset Haven allows users to manage cryptocurrencies, stablecoins, and NFTs on more than 40 public and private blockchains. The platform includes compliance tools such as identity verification and anti-money laundering checks, thus offering a turnkey solution for financial institutions. Dfns brings its expertise in crypto-wallet management via its MPC technology and moreover through Hardware Security Modules (HSM). Founded in Paris in 2020 by Clarisse Hagège, the startup has created 15 million wallets and consequently securitized over a billion dollars in monthly transactions.
Digital Asset Haven: a favorable environment for the adoption of stablecoins
This partnership comes at a time of rapid change, when stablecoins are generating growing interest. Stablecoin payments have surged since the adoption of the GENIUS Act in July 2025. They reached over ten billion dollars in August 2025, which consequently represents a 137% increase compared to last year. The launch of the Digital Asset Haven marks an important step in integrating digital assets within financial institutions. The partnership between Dfns and IBM strengthens this initiative, and moreover, it ensures advanced levels of security and reliability. Actors in the sector will now access a securitized platform, which consequently complies with digital asset legislations.
