South Korea’s Financial Services Commission has proposed detailed regulations for issuing and trading tokenized securities as the country’s regulatory framework is set to take effect in February 2027.
The changes would <a href="https://www.fsc.go.kr/eng/pr010101/87834" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">allow</a> stocks, bonds, funds and certain fractional investment securities to be issued and circulated in tokenized form.&nbsp;
The proposal also introduces requirements for companies issuing and managing tokenized securities. Under the proposed changes, companies issuing tokenized securities while directly managing customer accounts would need at least 4 billion Korean won ($2.8 million) in equity capital and dedicated compliance and technology staff.&nbsp;
Separately, revisions to capital markets regulations would create an additional over-the-counter exchange license for debt securities and cap retail investors at 100 million won ($70,000) in annual net purchases on each OTC exchange.
The proposal builds on a <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/south-korean-regulators-tokenized-securities-roadmap" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">three-phase roadmap unveiled on Sept. 4</a> for bringing securities issuance and trading onto distributed-ledger infrastructure.
The rules will undergo public consultation from Friday to Nov. 11 before an approval process begins. The proposed regulations are scheduled to take effect on Feb. 4, 2027, alongside amendments recognizing distributed ledgers as infrastructure for issuing and circulating securities.
