South Korea's Financial Services Commission Plans to Refine Tokenized Securities Rules, Capping Annual Net Purchases for Individual Investors at 100 Million KRW per OTC Platform

According to Cointelegraph, South Korea's Financial Services Commission (FSC) has proposed supporting regulatory rules for tokenized securities, allowing stocks, bonds, funds, and certain fractional investment securities to be issued and traded via tokenization. Issuers of tokenized securities that directly manage client accounts must meet a minimum capital requirement of 4 billion South Korean won (approximately $2.8 million) and must be equipped with dedicated compliance and technical personnel. The relevant rules are scheduled to take effect on February 4, 2027.
