Koscom and NH Investment & Securities Partner to Advance Tokenized Securities Platform

Koscom and NH Investment & Securities have signed a memorandum of understanding to collaborate on the development of a tokenized securities platform in South Korea. The partnership focuses on verifying system processes for security token offerings (STOs) and establishing operational procedures for issuance and account management. By leveraging Koscom’s financial infrastructure expertise and NH Investment & Securities’ extensive distribution network, the firms aim to bridge traditional finance with blockchain technology. This initiative is a strategic response to the South Korean Financial Services Commission’s ongoing efforts to draft a formal legal framework for digital assets under the Capital Markets Act. The collaboration seeks to reduce the complexity and costs associated with launching tokenized assets, potentially expanding funding avenues for startups. Furthermore, the project aims to provide investors with broader access to diverse asset classes like real estate and intellectual property through a regulated environment. This move signals growing institutional confidence in the long-term viability of STOs and positions both companies as early movers in the anticipated digital securities market.
