Local reports said the council reviewed issuance, trading, settlement and infrastructure rules before the legal framework starts.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Fractional products may get wider scope<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The FSC is preparing to allow some fractional investment products to pool similar underlying assets. Current rules limit many fractional products to a single asset, such as one property. The new approach could allow a portfolio-style product made from the same type of asset.<\/p>\n<p>FSC Vice Chairman Kwon Dae-young said the authority will pursue a plan to allow pooled issuance within a set range while keeping market order and investor protection as basic conditions. He also said the final model for fractional investment issuance is targeted for July after industry feedback.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, the July package is also expected to include a roadmap for tokenizing standard securities, including stocks, bonds and money market funds. The council noted that global markets are already testing tokenized public securities, green bonds and tokenized MMFs.<\/p>\n<p>South Korea does not plan to move all electronic securities onto blockchain at once. Instead, authorities are preparing step-by-step tests for rights, trading, settlement and on-chain payment systems to avoid conflict with existing market infrastructure.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Samsung SDS builds market infrastructure<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The rule work comes as South Korea builds the systems needed for tokenized securities. Crypto.news reported last week that Samsung SDS won a contract to build and operate a token securities platform for the Korea Securities Depository.<\/p>\n<p>The platform is expected to connect KSD\u2019s existing electronic securities account system with blockchain-based records. It will support issuance, circulation checks, rights management and real-time monitoring before the 2027 rollout.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Korea\u2019s digital asset rules keep expanding<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>South Korea\u2019s broader digital asset policy is also moving. Earlier reports said the ruling party finalized a draft Digital Asset Basic Act covering stablecoins, tokenized products and digital asset service providers.<\/p>\n<p>Crypto.news also reported that the FSC planned to lift a long corporate crypto investment ban and allow eligible listed firms and professional investors to allocate up to 5% of equity capital to top crypto assets. These separate policies show Korea is building both crypto-market and tokenized-securities rules at the same time.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>South Korea\u2019s Financial Services Commission plans to release detailed tokenized securities rules in July.\u00a0 Summary South Korea plans to release detailed tokenized securities rules in July before the 2027 legal&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":8120,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-28798","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cryptocurrency"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28798","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=28798"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28798\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":28799,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28798\/revisions\/28799"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8120"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=28798"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=28798"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=28798"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
