South Korea to Tokenize Stocks, Bonds and Funds in 3 Stages as STO Law Hits in Feb 2027
South Korea’s Financial Services Commission (FSC) has published a tokenized securities infrastructure roadmap, mapping out a three-stage plan to put stocks, bonds, and funds on-chain, starting in February 2027, when the country’s amended securities law takes effect. Crucially, tokenized securities issuers will not need new licenses. Existing brokers and securities firms can serve onchain products under approvals they already hold.
