Özet

South Korea's Hanwha Investment & Securities, in collaboration with FairSquare Lab, has developed a multi-network tokenized securities platform that includes Avalanche. This move prepares for upcoming regulatory changes, as revised financial laws effective February 2027 will recognize distributed ledgers as securities registries. The Financial Services Commission has a phased implementation plan, starting with private money market funds and bonds. Hanwha's platform is part of its broader blockchain strategy, which includes being the largest shareholder in Securitize and a significant investment in Digital Asset. While the platform development marks a key step, widespread commercial adoption of tokenized securities in South Korea depends on the progressive rollout of the regulatory framework.

As South Korea’s capital markets approach blockchain technology, financial institutions continue to prepare themselves by building their own tokenized securities platform. Hanwha Investment & Securities reportedly developed a tokenized securities platform that operates across multiple networks, including Avalanche.

According to Seoul Economic Daily, the news was announced on September 6 when Hanwha, together with blockchain technology company FairSquare Lab, started the development of a tokenized securities platform in 2025. The development of the platform was done months before the official integration of tokenized securities in the capital markets system.

Hanwha Gets Ready for Tokenization Framework in South Korea

In South Korea, the financial laws have been revised to treat distributed ledgers as securities registry systems. The revision of the law will be effective from February 4, 2027. The changes mean that security tokens will be incorporated into the current capital market system. The changes will also provide a clear legal basis for financial institutions that are trying to experiment with blockchain technology to manage securities.

On the other hand, the Financial Services Commission has formulated a three-step plan of implementation. This means that, in the first step, tokenization of privately placed money market funds and bonds will be allowed. The second step will involve the tokenization of unlisted stocks through trust arrangements as well as fractional investment securities. In case of success in the first phase, the second phase may involve the tokenization of publicly offered securities.

Hanwha Expands Its Blockchain Investment Strategy

Hanwha’s platform development supports its broader blockchain and tokenization strategy. Hanwha Group holds a 9.6% stake in Securitize through three affiliates, making it Securitize’s largest shareholder. Hanwha Investment & Securities also invested 30 billion Korean won, about $22.3 million, in Digital Asset. The company operates Canton Network, which focuses on institutional financial markets.

Together, these moves show Hanwha’s growing focus on tokenized financial infrastructure. Its Avalanche-based platform could support securities issuance and management as South Korea’s regulations evolve. However, the platform’s completion does not indicate widespread commercial adoption. Regulatory implementation must progress through planned stages before tokenized securities reach broader markets.

Kalshi's 15-Minute Gold Markets Overtook Ether Just Weeks After Launch

Kalshi's 15-minute gold markets generated nearly twice the estimated trading fees of similar Ether markets in September, just weeks after their August launch. These contracts, allowing traders to bet on gold price movements in 15-minute intervals, brought in approximately $5 million in fees for the month, compared to $2.6 million for Ether contracts. Bitcoin remained the dominant market with $60.4 million in fees. The surge in short-term gold trading coincides with Kalshi's expansion into commodities.

Cardano Launches CIP-0113 for Compliant Tokenized Assets

The Cardano Foundation has launched CIP-0113, a new programmable token standard on the Cardano mainnet. This standard enables issuers of regulated assets like stablecoins, tokenized funds, and bonds to embed compliance rules—such as KYC/AML checks, sanctions screening, and transfer restrictions—directly into the tokens. The Cardano ledger automatically enforces these rules during transactions. Built on Cardano's extended UTXO model without requiring a hard fork, CIP-0113 tokens are native assets. Issuers can use modular rule sets or create custom compliance logic, which can be updated as regulations change. The standard has undergone security audits and has initial ecosystem support from wallets and tools. Additionally, the Swiss Capital Markets and Technology Association (CMTA) has recognized CIP-0113 as equivalent to its own CMTAT smart contract framework for certifying ledger-based securities. This aims to support compliant digital assets in Switzerland and reduce due diligence efforts. The Foundation plans further development for regulated financial instruments. Notably, compliance controls only apply to tokens specifically issued using the CIP-0113 standard.
