The Financial Commission of Korea releases three-stage roadmap for the development of tokenized securities infrastructure

The Financial Commission of Korea (FSC) recently announced a three-stage roadmap aimed at developing tokenized securities infrastructure for issuing stocks, bonds and funds.

Legal Recognition and Implementation Schedule

The FSC revealed at a press conference on Friday that with the revision of the Electronic Stock and Bond Registration Law, which will officially take effect on February 4, 2027, from that date, tokenized securities will be legally recognized as electronic forms of securities.

This roadmap is part of South Korea's first tokenized securities framework. As an important part of the planned implementation of the revised Capital Market Law and Electronic Securities Law, it is expected to be fully effective on February 4. The FSC said it will work with the Korea Securities Depository (KSD) to jointly develop relevant tokenization infrastructure before the launch of the roadmap.

Phased advancement strategy

Phase 1: provides legal recognition of tokenized securities, covering asset classes such as institutional money market funds, bonds, unlisted stocks, and share investment securities.

Phase 2: Extend tokenization to all publicly issued securities.

Phase 3: Implement on-chain payment functions linked to stablecoins.

Next, the FSC plans to propose amendments to relevant subsidiary regulations by the end of September and determine specific timelines for the second and third phases of the roadmap.

Regulatory framework continues to improve

South Korean regulators are gradually moving closer to establishing a sound regulatory framework for tokenized assets. In May this year, the FSC stated that it plans to introduce detailed rules for tokenized securities in 2027 and incorporate them into the national capital market system.

In addition, in April this year, the Ministry of Finance of South Korea announced the launch of a pilot project to use tokenized deposits to implement government operating expenditures, and plans to be fully promoted in the fourth quarter of 2026.
