FSC is integrating tokens as securities into the broader capital market reform framework, not just creating a standalone sandbox but directly impacting settlement infrastructure—this signal is more significant than the text itself.

According to CryptoWorld, the Financial Services Commission (FSC) of South Korea has launched a review meeting on capital market infrastructure, bringing tokenized securities infrastructure into the capital market reform framework. The related agenda includes speeding up securities settlement, extending trading hours, and digital transformation. The South Korean tokenized securities framework is planned to take effect in February 2027, and the subordinate regulations and guidance are expected to be released in July this year. Samsung SDS previously said it has obtained a contract with the Korea Securities Depository (KSD) to develop a tokenized securities management platform, connecting the existing electronic securities account system with blockchain data, aiming to complete the work by February 2027.
