Tokenized Securities Expand Scope: South Korea Adds Bonds and Funds to First Batch of Pilot Assets

• South Korean financial regulators have expanded the first batch of pilot assets for tokenized securities (security tokens) to include bonds and funds.
• The expansion broadens the scope beyond the initial focus on equity-type and real-asset-backed tokens, covering a wider range of traditional financial instruments.
• The initiative continues to operate under South Korea's financial regulatory sandbox, aiming to build out blockchain-based issuance and trading infrastructure for tokenized securities.
