South Korea’s tokenized securities market will expand beyond fractional investment products to traditional financial instruments such as money market funds, privately placed bonds and unlisted shares starting Feb. 4 next year. Financial authorities also plan to gradually link the market to tokenized public securities and stablecoin-based on-chain settlement.
The Financial Services Commission announced the policy roadmap on Sept. 4 at the third meeting of a public-private consultative body on tokenized securities.
Beginning Feb. 4, authorities will allow the tokenization of privately placed MMFs for institutional investors and privately placed bonds. For unlisted shares, a new structure will allow existing electronic securities to be placed in trust and then issued and traded as tokenized beneficiary certificates.
