<\/figure>\n\n\n\nTokenized assets have already moved from concept to scale globally, surpassing US$26 billion in 2025. Analysts project growth to between US$2 trillion and US$16 trillion by 2030, depending on how quickly regulatory frameworks and infrastructure mature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSecurity tokenization has entered a clear inflection point, driven by some of the world\u2019s largest asset managers. Korea has a great opportunity, and the depth, to emerge as one of the most important markets in this transformation and we\u2019re already seeing significant action taken towards transforming Korea into a tokenized economy.\u201d – Darien Poh, CEO of Synthesys<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A Defining Moment for Korea Capital Markets<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Under President Lee Jae-myung’s administration, Korea is rapidly modernizing its financial laws\u00a0 with the proposed Digital Asset Basic Act (DABA) as the centrepiece of this effort. Unlocking New Market Opportunities in Korea<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n As Korea prepares for digital asset regulation, major Korean banks, securities firms, and conglomerates are already piloting issuance, custody, and settlement of tokenized assets, laying practical infrastructure for broader adoption. The report identifies multiple high-potential areas where tokenising capital markets can drive efficiency, liquidity, and participation in Korea\u2019s markets. With the recent focus around regulating Korean Won-denominated stablecoins, the opportunity set for tokenizing mutual funds and other securities are emerging as a breakout case. This seemingly aligns with global trends as well, with tokenized funds growing 7,400% total assets under management\u00a0 in just six months, driven by regulatory clarity and consistently strong investor demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To unlock this potential, The Case for Tokenization in Korea outlines practical steps, including the rollout of tokenized KRW cash-legs, pilots in government and investment-grade bonds, and the development of licensed distribution venues. Together, these moves can establish Korea as a global model for building accessible, efficient, and fully regulated tokenized markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Read the full report: https:\/\/www.synthesys.co\/report\/korea<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n About: Superteam Korea:\u00a0 Superteam Korea is the regional focus layer of the distributed talent network for the Solana ecosystem.

The bill would create a unified definition of digital assets, set clear rules for stablecoins, and require licensing and oversight of virtual asset service providers by the Financial Services Commission. At the same time, lawmakers are preparing updates to the Electronic Securities Act and the Capital Markets Act to formally recognize securities recorded on blockchains, paving the way for fully regulated tokenized securities.
These reforms, expected to pass by late 2025 or early 2026, will provide the legal clarity needed for institutional tokenization adoption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201dKorea has consistently led the way in tokenization. With regulatory frameworks taking shape and infrastructure rolling out, we\u2019re excited to help drive a paradigm shift as traditional markets move onto digital rails\u201d said David (Sangwon) Lee, CEO of Pinetree Securities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
