🚀 South Korea's Ruling Party Sets Standards for Tokenization of Physical Assets
#SouthKorea #RulingParty #Tokenization #PhysicalAssets #DemocraticParty #PANews #Legislation #Stablecoins #ForeignExchange #PaymentMethod #FinancialServicesCommission #Interoperability #DigitalAssets
South Korea's ruling Democratic Party has introduced a comprehensive bill outlining standards for the tokenization of physical assets. According to PANews, the legislation requires issuers to deposit related assets into a management trust in accordance with capital market laws, with specific details to be determined by presidential decree.
The bill also addresses stablecoins, stipulating that if used for foreign exchange transactions, they will be considered a payment method under foreign exchange laws, automatically falling under the supervision of foreign exchange management without the need for additional registration. For everyday consumer payments, stablecoins are exempt from reporting obligations.
Furthermore, the legislation prohibits stablecoin issuers from paying interest to holders under any circumstances. The Financial Services Commission is tasked with developing interoperability technical standards for stablecoins to prevent liquidity fragmentation when Korean won stablecoins are issued across multiple chains.
Additionally, the bill proposes integrating exchange and decentralized disclosure systems into a unified disclosure system under the digital asset industry association.#SouthKorea #RulingParty #Tokenization #PhysicalAssets #DemocraticParty #PANews #Legislation #Stablecoins #ForeignExchange #PaymentMethod #FinancialServicesCommission #Interoperability #DigitalAssets

#SouthKorea #DemocraticParty #TokenizedAssets #Stablecoins #DigitalAssetRegulation #RWA #FinancialRegulation #CapitalMarketsAct #ForeignExchange #Interoperability #DigitalAssetBasicAct
South Korea's Democratic Party is moving to integrate tokenized real-world assets (RWA) and stablecoins into the existing legal framework. According to ChainCatcher, the proposal includes provisions in the draft of the Digital Asset Basic Act.
The proposal mandates that issuers of tokenized RWAs deposit linked assets into trust accounts in accordance with the Capital Markets Act. Stablecoins are classified as 'means of payment' under the Foreign Exchange Transactions Act, to be regulated by foreign exchange authorities without requiring additional registration. Small stablecoin transactions are exempt from foreign exchange reporting, while larger transactions remain subject to regulatory requirements.
Additionally, the proposal prohibits offering returns on idle stablecoin balances and requires the Financial Services Commission to establish technical standards for stablecoin interoperability. The Digital Asset Basic Act represents South Korea's second set of digital asset regulations, which has faced multiple legislative delays, pushing the original 2025 launch timeline further back.#SouthKorea #DemocraticParty #TokenizedAssets #Stablecoins #DigitalAssetRegulation #RWA #FinancialRegulation #CapitalMarketsAct #ForeignExchange #Interoperability #DigitalAssetBasicAct
