South Korea's Hanwha Securities launches tokenized-securities platform on Avalanche as regulator backs three-stage RWA tokenization plan.
Tech & Launches ·
Hanwha Investment & Securities has built a tokenized-securities platform on Avalanche, following South Korea's financial regulator's announcement of a three-stage roadmap for tokenizing all types of securities. The development signals institutional backing for real-world asset tokenization infrastructure in the region and represents a concrete application of the regulator's stated framework.
The platform's deployment on Avalanche positions the blockchain network as the infrastructure layer for South Korea's emerging tokenized-securities ecosystem. The three-stage regulatory plan sets out a pathway to establish tokenization infrastructure across the full range of securities classes, moving beyond isolated pilots toward systemic adoption.
Specifics on the platform's launch timeline, the regulator's three stages, and which securities classes Hanwha plans to tokenize first remain unclear from current disclosures. The extent to which other South Korean financial institutions will adopt similar approaches on Avalanche or competing chains has not yet been reported.
