Deep Tide TechFlow message: On July 16, CoinDesk reported that the economic policy roadmap released by South Korea’s Ministry of Economy and Finance on Wednesday shows that the country plans to revise its 1950 National Assets Act, officially incorporating virtual currencies and intellectual property into the definition of national assets to modernize the management system for state-owned property.

Under the plan, the government will launch a pilot for tokenized government bonds in 2027 and explore tokenizing state-owned real estate to attract retail investors. The amendment is scheduled to take effect on February 4, 2027. At that time, the blockchain ledger system will receive formal legal recognition for the securities registration system under the Capital Markets Act and the Electronic Law, and the government also plans to connect these systems to the Bank of Korea’s central bank digital currency infrastructure.
