The South Korean Financial Services Commission (FSC) has announced a major modernization of the national capital market, with the development of a key infrastructure for tokenized securities. The regulator has launched a special mechanism to coordinate reforms and create a public-private advisory board that will work on rules for issuing and handling digital assets.

The most important area of reform will be to speed up calculation processes, a roadmap that FSC plans to present in October. This should reduce operational risk and boost liquidity. At the same time, the Korean Securities Depository (KSD) will launch a new settlement platform until the end of 2026 to service over-the-counter transactions with non-equity companies and fractional investment products.

The integration of tokenized assets into the government’s development agenda demonstrates the Seoul authorities' commitment to erasing the boundaries between traditional finance and blockchain technologies.
