The Korea Fintech Industry Association on April 28 held a forum on building an inclusive digital economy and fostering a sustainable digital asset industry through public tokenised securities (STO) models. Participants said STOs could improve investment access and strengthen transparency through blockchain-based trading. Speakers called for stronger institutional foundations such as investor protection and disclosures. Proposals included linking public development gains to households and tokenising jeonse deposits to improve liquidity.

A seminar in Seoul discussed strategies to integrate digital capital markets with green digital finance as the spread of digital assets accelerates changes across capital-market issuance, distribution, payments and custody. The event, co-hosted by the Korea Fintech Industry Association and Yonsei University’s Graduate School of Environmental Finance, examined domestic policy tasks and directions for Asian cooperation. Speakers addressed token securities, stablecoins, carbon-credit digitisation and blockchain-based infrastructure.
