South Korea legalizes tokenized securities, officially introducing blockchain into the traditional financial market.
Under the new regulations, tokenized securities are recognized as legal financial assets, but trading must be conducted through licensed securities firms and intermediaries, unlike the free trading of cryptocurrencies. The law is expected to take effect in 2027.
Notably, this form of investment applies not only to stocks and bonds, but also to assets such as real estate, art, and agricultural projects. Thanks to digitalization and legal regulation, small investors can access these assets more easily, transparently, and securely
