🇰🇷 Korean Stocks Could Be Heading Onchain
KakaoPay Securities has partnered with Ondo Finance to explore bringing Korean-listed stocks to global investors through tokenization.
The two companies plan to build infrastructure covering the full lifecycle — from custody of underlying Korean shares to token issuance, redemption, balance reconciliation and global distribution. KakaoPay Securities would provide access to the underlying shares through omnibus accounts, while Ondo brings its global tokenized-asset distribution network.
The partnership will also explore how dividends, voting rights and other shareholder rights could be reflected in tokenized stocks, with a joint task force planned this year. Any commercial launch will remain subject to regulatory and legal review.
The bigger picture: Korea’s equity market could eventually connect directly to global onchain distribution — turning Korean stocks into a new RWA category for investors worldwide.
