South Korea's Mirae Asset Securities plans to launch tokenized money market funds and private bonds in Q1 2027.
Regulation & Gov ·
Mirae Asset Securities, a South Korean firm, intends to roll out tokenized money market funds and private bonds beginning in the first quarter of 2027. The move marks an expansion of tokenized financial products into traditional asset classes within a regulated environment.
Tokenized money market funds and bonds represent debt and short-term lending instruments converted to blockchain-based form, potentially enabling faster settlement and fractional ownership. The timing and scope of Mirae Asset Securities' launch—limited to MMFs and private debt initially—suggests a phased rollout rather than a comprehensive tokenized product suite from the outset.
It remains unclear whether additional asset classes or product types are planned beyond this initial tranche, what specific blockchain infrastructure or stablecoins will underpin these offerings, or what regulatory approvals have already been secured in South Korea for this launch window.
