Leuven – October 29, 2026 -- SettleMint has integrated its Digital Asset Lifecycle Platform (DALP) with IBM Digital Asset Haven, giving financial institutions, governments and other regulated organizations a single environment for tokenized asset issuance, custody and transaction controls. The integration is available now.
DALP and IBM Digital Asset Haven split policy, custody and approval duties
IBM Digital Asset Haven supplies wallet and key management, transaction approvals and governance. SettleMint's DALP applies asset-eligibility and transfer rules. Together they define who sets policy, who approves activity and who resolves exceptions.
Integration supports issuance and delivery versus payment on permissioned EVM networks
The combined offering covers end-to-end issuance and delivery versus payment (DvP) on a permissioned Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) network. Supported asset classes include securities, deposits, equities, treasuries and stablecoins, managed from issuance through transaction approval. The companies say the setup lets organizations move from pilots to full production with institutional controls at every layer.
SettleMint CEO targets enterprise integration over separate technology stacks
SettleMint CEO Adam Popat said financial institutions now assess digital assets against the systems, controls and governance frameworks they already run. He said the aim is for digital assets to operate in the same enterprise environment, not in "a separate technology stack."
Kelly Pushong, Director of Product Management for IBM Z and LinuxONE Software, said trust, security and control become more important as institutions move from exploring tokenization to putting it into practice.
The two products remain separate offerings. IBM and SettleMint each sell, license, price and support their own product under separate agreements, and neither acts as the other's agent.
