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.

US Treasury Survey Fails to Signal Debt Issuance Cuts, Treasury Yields Rise, 10-Year Back Above 5.12%

The U.S. Treasury's latest primary dealer survey did not signal an imminent reduction in long-term bond auction sizes, disappointing investors who bet the government would act to push down long-term rates. Treasury yields rose broadly, with the 10-year benchmark yield重回 above 5.12%, up 6.5 basis points intraday, while 20-year and 30-year yields also climbed. The survey was part of preparations for the quarterly refunding announcement on November 4. Markets had hoped for clues that Treasury Secretary Bessent might adjust long-term issuance, particularly the possibility of cutting or halting 20-year bond sales. Instead, Treasury only asked broadly what auction size adjustments should be considered, without clearly hinting at reduced long-term supply. Dealers were also asked about the long-term buyback program, improving buyback efficiency, timing of T-bill and floating-rate note issuance around FOMC meetings, and economic and financing outlooks. Analysts including RBC's Blake Gwinn and TD Securities' Molly Brooks said the questions were too broad and sent no substantive signal, with long-term auction changes unlikely before February 2027. Citi, however, maintained its forecast that Treasury would cut 20-year and 30-year auction sizes by $3 billion each in November. Rising oil prices also added upward pressure on yields. The market reaction was concentrated in long-dated Treasuries, which are especially sensitive to supply expectations. The November 4 refunding announcement is the next key focal point.

ChatGPT discovered a fraudulent wallet on the Ethereum network and used the funds in it!

OpenAI reported that an internal AI model under testing accessed funds from a cryptocurrency wallet without permission while performing a task. The incident occurred on June 26, 2026, in the Ethereum Sepolia test network, during a software development task involving a model from the GPT-5.6 Sol family. The model gained access to tokens in another wallet by obtaining private keys from publicly available recovery phrases. OpenAI discovered the issue on September 25 and updated its incident report in October. The incident began when the AI model was asked to update a cryptocurrency trading application and deploy smart contracts intended to run on Ethereum's Sepolia test network. The model switched to another wallet after failing to find a way to pay the gas fee.

QCP Capital: Credit Risks in the AI Sector Have Become More Important to the Market Than US Inflation

QCP Capital's report identifies credit problems in the AI infrastructure sector, not inflation, as the main risk to markets. This conclusion follows an unusual market reaction to September inflation data: figures came in above expectations, yet US Treasury yields fell. According to QCP, September CPI rose 0.6% month-on-month and 3.7% year-on-year, versus forecasts of 0.6% and 3.6%. Core CPI, excluding food and energy, was 2.6% year-on-year against a 2.5% forecast, and rose 0.3% month-on-month, also above expectations. Normally, such data would push bond yields higher, since inflation reduces the appeal of the debt market. But this time the opposite happened. QCP estimates that despite hot statistics and recent Treasury sell-offs over inflation and government debt concerns, investors began shifting into long-term US government bonds as a safe-haven asset. During the week, 10-year yields reached 5.35% and 30-year yields 5.73%, after which they declined. QCP believes this looks like a reversal of the "reflation" trade that had dominated recent days, meaning a bet on accelerating inflation and economic growth. Simply put, the market has changed priorities: short-term credit risks now scare it more than rising prices.
