South Korea\'s largest financial group plans to tokenize traditional assets

One application, two major asset classes

Mirae Asset, South Korea\'s largest independent financial group, has set its sights on tokenized stocks and bonds. The group hopes that these products will be available on its newly launched Hong Kong platform within three years and appear in the same mobile app alongside traditional assets. The platform is called MAPS, or Mirae Asset Portfolio Service.

Future Assets Hong Kong subsidiary officially launched the platform on June 27, providing users with a unified trading interface for stocks and digital assets. The launch benefited from regulatory clearance: Hong Kong\'s Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) issued a retail digital asset license to Future Assets\'s local subsidiary in April this year, allowing the company to provide cryptocurrency trading services to individual investors. Tokenized products are listed as the focus of the next phase, and Hong Kong will serve as a pilot market before being promoted to a wider scale.

Its ambitions extend beyond Hong Kong. Future Assets plans to expand MAPS to the United States, South Korea, Japan and Singapore, and plans to add artificial intelligence-driven wealth management tools. Founding Chairman Park Hyun-chu personally attended the Hong Kong press conference and called the move \"the first step for future assets Hong Kong into the next 20 years.\"

Problem: Get investors to truly participate in transactions

Future assets are entering a market carefully cultivated by Hong Kong. As of March 2026, there are 13 publicly available tokenized products in Hong Kong, with total assets under management of approximately HK$10.7 billion (approximately US$1.4 billion), a seven-fold increase over the previous year. In April this year, the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission further allowed licensed virtual asset platforms to conduct secondary transactions on authorized tokenized investment products.

The regulatory foundation is solid, but historical experience has also sounded the alarm. Projects that have built tokenized market infrastructure, including Switzerland\'s SIX subsidiary SDX Exchange and Singapore\'s ADDX, show that building the technology track is the relatively easy part, while attracting real investors to generate sustained trading volume is much more difficult. Future Assets has a retail distribution network and brand influence covering Asia, which gives it an advantage over independent exchanges. But whether this will be enough to inject considerable liquidity into tokenized stocks and bonds over three years remains a core question.
