South Korea plans to begin a regulated framework for issuing and circulating tokenized securities on February 4, 2027, initially directing private money market fund and corporate bond issuance toward institutional investors. The framework will allow stocks, bonds and fund offerings to be issued through blockchain technology, with the Korea Securities Depository serving as a central link between traditional finance and distributed ledger networks. KSD is working to establish a connection to Avalanche’s decentralized network, creating a potential institutional use case for the blockchain if the rollout expands. Avalanche’s tokenized-stock market capitalization previously rose $245.5 million in September, aided by Securitize, while the network recorded more than $131.2 million of tokenized-stock inflows in the final week of that month. Its tokenized-stock market capitalization also increased by $266 million over 30 days, outpacing BNB Chain, Robinhood Chain and X Layer.
