BlockBeats News, May 15th, the South Korea Financial Services Commission announced at the second Civil-Military Joint "Tokenized Securities Protocol Body" meeting that it will release subordinate regulations and guidelines related to tokenized securities in July this year. The tokenized securities framework will be officially implemented in February next year.

The Financial Services Commission of South Korea plans to allow the issuance of investment securities tied to multiple assets of the same type, changing the current restriction which only allows the issuance of single assets (such as specific real estate). In the future, asset-pool products such as the "10 Seoul office building portfolio" are expected to be approved. The Commission emphasizes that it will promote progress based on maintaining market order and protecting investors, rather than pursuing strict regulation.

At the same time, the authorities will refer to overseas cases to establish a phased roadmap for the tokenization of existing standardized securities such as stocks, bonds, and money market funds (MMFs). Currently, green bonds in Hong Kong, MMFs in the United States have achieved tokenized securities issuance, and the NYSE and NASDAQ are also preparing for pilot projects for tokenized stock trading.

Regarding over-the-counter trading, the current annual investment limit on fractional investment platforms is between 10 million to 20 million South Korean Won, and the total annual sales amount on non-listed stock over-the-counter exchanges is 300 million Won. The government plans to establish limits to help expand early-stage market liquidity while ensuring systematic investor protection.
