South Korea's Financial Services Commission (FSC) plans to release detailed regulations for tokenized securities in July, aiming to integrate blockchain-based assets into the country's capital market system. These measures include a roadmap for the tokenization of stocks, bonds, and money market funds, as well as adjustments to over-the-counter trading limits. This is according to reports Cointelegraph.com.
FSC Vice Chairman Kwon Dae-yong stated that the package to be introduced in July will be a significant step toward institutionalizing tokenized securities. The new rules will allow for the integration of distributed ledger technologies into regulated markets while maintaining investor protection mechanisms.
Meanwhile, South Korea's Ministry of Economy and Finance has launched a pilot project on the use of tokenized deposits for public spending. This initiative is expected to be fully implemented by the fourth quarter of 2026.
These changes are being implemented in accordance with the Capital Markets Act and the Electronic Securities Act, which will come into effect on February 4, 2027. This will create the first regulated environment in South Korea that recognizes blockchain ledgers as legal securities registries.
