South Korea’s Financial Services Commission includes tokenized securities in capital market reform roadmap

CoinFeed, June 24 – According to Cointelegraph, South Korea’s Financial Services Commission (FSC) has incorporated tokenized securities infrastructure into a package of capital market reform plans, advancing alongside shortened settlement cycles, extended trading hours, and AI-driven digital transformation. The FSC stated that specific plans for tokenized securities will be discussed separately within a public-private joint committee before being integrated with the overall reform. Previously, the National Assembly passed a law amendment recognizing blockchain distributed ledgers as a legal securities registration tool and allowing the issuance and circulation of tokenized securities, with the framework expected to take effect from February 2027. Samsung SDS is developing a tokenized securities management platform for the Korea Securities Depository, also targeting a launch before February 2027, to achieve integration with the existing electronic securities account system and real-time unified digital market infrastructure.
