Past Legislative Challenges and Ethereum’s Role in Tokenization

The South Korean National Assembly is evaluating amendments to the Capital Market Act and the Electronic Securities Act. These amendments are designed to legalize tokenized securities. The Financial Services Commission will oversee this regulatory framework. The Tokenized Securities Act’s primary goal is to attract institutional players by enabling corporates and exchanges greater access to tokenized asset markets. Enhanced internal control standards are anticipated to elevate the credibility of the market and allow institutional entry. Both ruling and opposition parties agree on the legislation despite past deadlocks. Commitments from presidential candidates Lee Jae-myung and Yoon Seok-youl bolster the act’s anticipated passage, with both candidates prioritizing expeditious implementation in their campaigns.

Past attempts to pass tokenized securities legislation faltered during the 21st National Assembly due to political gridlock, not party dissent.
