South Korea's financial regulator has put forward detailed regulations targeting tokenized securities, according to CoinTelegraph. The proposed framework covers key aspects such as capital requirements for issuers, licensing for over-the-counter (OTC) trading platforms, and limits on retail investor participation.
The new rules aim to create a clearer legal environment for tokenized assets, which blend traditional securities with blockchain technology. This move signals South Korea's intent to foster innovation while maintaining investor protections in the evolving digital finance landscape.
For Japanese markets, where regulatory clarity around digital assets is also developing, South Korea’s approach offers a reference point for balancing growth and risk management in tokenized securities.
