Korean brokerages are expanding tokenised securities businesses from account management for fractional investing to issuance infrastructure for bonds, funds and other financial products. The Financial Services Commission said it will pursue phased tokenisation of stocks, bonds and funds, starting in February 2027 with private money market funds, private corporate bonds, unlisted shares using trusts and publicly offered fractional investment securities. Firms are building joint platforms and proprietary systems, while overseas examples are also growing.

South Korea\'s financial authorities will expand tokenised securities beyond fractional investment to cover existing securities such as stocks, bonds and funds. The Financial Services Commission said a phased tokenisation will begin when the system takes effect on Feb. 4, 2027, starting with private funds for institutional investors, private bonds and unlisted shares. It also outlined investor protection measures, over-the-counter trading limits, and requirements for issuer account managers.
