IBM connects digital asset vault platform to SWIFT's blockchain shared ledger
IBM has connected its Digital Asset Haven platform to SWIFT's blockchain-based shared ledger. Seventeen global banks, including Bank of New York Mellon (BNY), Citigroup, HSBC, UBS and Wells Fargo, are using the ledger to pilot tokenized deposit transactions.
The technology giant announced two Beta updates to the platform on September 24, both for regulated financial institutions. "The financial services industry is entering a new era where tokenized assets and traditional assets need to operate in parallel," Tom McPherson, general manager of IBM Z and LinuxONE businesses, pointed out in an interview with The Block.
Be familiar with payment message formats
The first update is the ISO 20022 Messaging Adapter. It allows banks to use their existing payment message formats to indicate tokenized transactions without going through specific blockchain workflows. Participants can transfer funds around the clock, including weekends, and final settlement will still be completed through the existing system.
SWIFT showed off the ledger at the 2025 Sibos conference, which was built on a prototype from Consensus Sys and announced it will be commercially available in July after nine months of development. The pilot team also includes ANZ, BNP Paribas, DBS, Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group (MUFG), Standard Chartered Bank and Lloyds Bank.
No public cloud environment required
第二项更新是本地部署版本,完全运行在客户自己的IBM Z或LinuxONE硬件上。软件和加密密钥保留在客户内部,由Crypto Express硬件安全模块保护。据IBM称,正式的密钥仪式会产生文档,客户可将其提交给监管机构。
“数字资产保险库”于2025年10月推出,当时与钱包基础设施提供商Dfns合作。此前,该平台仅以云服务或混合架构形式提供。
此举正值贷款机构竞相改革其支付清算网络之际。摩根大通支付研究(J.P. Morgan Payments research)发现,93%的金融机构正在现代化改造其支付基础设施。
9月25日,在宣布当天的盘前交易中IBM股价下跌0.4%后,其股价上涨约2.5%,报237.19美元。
