IBM Links Digital Asset Haven to Swift Blockchain Ledger
The beta lets banks use ISO 20022 payment messages for tokenized deposits while keeping digital asset operations and key management inside their own data centers.
- On Thursday, September 24, 2026, IBM connected its Digital Asset Haven platform to Swift's blockchain-based shared ledger while launching an on-premises beta allowing regulated institutions to secure digital asset operations within their own data centers.
- Financial institutions are modernizing payments infrastructure to operate traditional and tokenized assets alongside one another, with 93% of firms prioritizing these upgrades to improve efficiency and meet strict security requirements.
- Through a new ISO 20022 Messaging Adapter, participating banks can initiate tokenized deposit transactions using existing payment formats instead of blockchain-specific workflows, enabling asset movement 24 hours a day, 7 days a week ahead of final settlement.
- Tom McPherson, General Manager of IBM Z and LinuxONE, stated the on-premises deployment enables clients to manage digital assets entirely within their own IBM Z or LinuxONE infrastructure, eliminating public cloud dependency.
- During Sibos 2026, running from September 28 through October 1, Swift will discuss the ledger's implementation roadmap and interoperable tokenized money capabilities as institutions evaluate the platform for cross-border payment modernization.
