South Korea to let stocks, bonds and funds go onchain
South Korea proposed rules for tokenized securities that would cover stocks, bonds, funds and fractional investment products, with a rollout set for February 4, 2027. The draft also sets a KRW100 million retail OTC cap and requires distributed ledgers to include multiple account-management entities alongside the Korea Securities Depository, while qualifying issuers would need at least KRW4 billion in capital.
