Odaily Planet Daily News: South Korea's Ministry of Economy and Finance (MOEF) plans to pass the "Basic Act on National Assets" to update the national asset management system under the 1950 "State Property Act," explicitly including digital assets and intellectual property in the definition of national assets.
The MOEF also reiterated its plan to tokenize government bonds through blockchain in a 2027 pilot to reduce transaction costs. It also plans to explore the tokenization of state-owned real estate to facilitate retail investor participation and share part of the returns with the public.
The South Korean government announced its economic growth strategy for the second half of 2026 this week, planning to pilot the integration of tokenized government bonds into the central bank digital currency (CBDC) infrastructure in 2027. It will also study the interoperability of the Bank of Korea's (BOK) CBDC infrastructure with other blockchains.
The MOEF announced on April 16 that it would use tokenized deposits for government operational expenditures, with full-scale implementation planned for the fourth quarter of 2026. Related amendments to South Korea's "Capital Markets Act" and "Electronic Securities Act" will take effect on February 4, 2027, legally recognizing blockchain ledgers as valid securities registers.
