South Korea proposes rules to put stocks, bonds and funds onchain
Image: Crypto.newsSouth Korea's Financial Services Commission proposed rules to let stocks, bonds and funds be issued as tokens on distributed ledgers. The framework treats a token security as a securities format, not a separate crypto asset. Retail investors would face a 100 million won annual net purchase limit on each over-the-counter platform. Qualified issuers would need at least 4 billion won in equity capital. Ledgers must connect with the Korea Securities Depository.
