TITLE: South Korea's Financial Supervisory Service Establishes Token Securities Coordination Body
BODY:
On March 4, 2026, the Financial Supervisory Service (FSS) of South Korea announced the establishment of a public-private coordination body to prepare for the implementation of token securities regulations scheduled for February 4, 2027.
The Token Securities Coordination Body comprises government agencies, relevant institutions, and private sector experts. It is structured around four subcommittees focusing on: technology and infrastructure; issuance; distribution; and settlement. The body will oversee the design of digital financial standards and detailed regulatory frameworks ahead of the legislative implementation.
The FSS outlined three key policy priorities for token securities development. First, it aims to create a diverse and scalable digital innovation finance ecosystem. Second, it seeks to establish investor protection mechanisms tailored to the technical characteristics of token securities. Third, it intends to prepare securities settlement systems for future developments, including on-chain payment solutions.
The coordination body's establishment reflects South Korea's proactive approach to integrating distributed ledger technology into its capital markets infrastructure. The February 2027 implementation date provides a defined timeline for regulatory and operational readiness across market participants.
The Capital Markets Supervisory Division and Corporate Disclosure Division of the FSS are responsible for coordinating the initiative, with the Capital Markets Oversight Team and Securities Issuance System Team managing day-to-day operations.
