PANews, June 24 – According to Cointelegraph, South Korea’s Financial Services Commission (FSC) has included tokenized securities infrastructure in a package of capital market reform plans, advancing it alongside shortening the settlement cycle, extending trading hours, and promoting 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 broader reform. The National Assembly has already passed a legislative 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 currently developing a tokenized securities management platform for the Korea Securities Depository, also targeting a launch before February 2027, aiming to achieve integration with the existing electronic securities account system and real-time, unified digital market infrastructure.
