Highlights

Securitize and LG CNS sign a memorandum to develop tokenized assets infrastructure for financial institutions as South Korea's new securities rules take effect February 2027.
Securitize gains nearly 8% to about $12.60 in early Tuesday trading, outperforming major crypto-linked stocks before announcing NYSE listing post-merger with Cantor Equity Partners II.
The tokenized real-world asset market reaches $40 billion while tokenized equities hit $3.2 billion, up 10.6% in 30 days, as adoption accelerates in the Asia-Pacific region.

Partnership positions company for 2027 rollout

As reported by Cointelegraph, Securitize and South Korean technology company LG CNS have signed a memorandum of understanding to develop tokenized assets and digital asset infrastructure for South Korean financial institutions.

The partnership is set to explore tokenized funds, stocks and stablecoins, while the two companies also assess opportunities across the wider Asia-Pacific market. The agreement arrives as South Korea's Financial Services Commission proposes rules for the issuance and circulation of tokenized stocks, bonds, funds and other securities, with the framework scheduled to take effect in February 2027.

Securitize rises nearly 8% in early Tuesday trading to about $12.60, outperforming many major crypto-linked stocks before easing later in the morning. The company starts trading on the New York Stock Exchange in July after completing its merger with special purpose acquisition company Cantor Equity Partners II.

Tokenized equities market expands

For Securitize, the agreement could provide an early foothold in South Korea as banks and other financial groups prepare for the incoming regime. LG CNS also launches a blockchain infrastructure platform on Tuesday aimed at helping financial companies support stablecoins and tokenized securities.

Securitize is already a significant player in the tokenized real-world asset market, which has grown to about $40 billion. Early expansion has centered on U.S. Treasurys, private credit and other yield-bearing assets, but tokenized stocks are gaining traction as exchanges and financial institutions push traditional equities onchain.

Tokenized equities are valued at roughly $3.2 billion, up 10.6% over the past 30 days, according to RWA.xyz data. Securitize CEO Carlos Domingo says even modest adoption of tokenized stocks could have an outsized effect on crypto markets, and at ETHConf in July he says the segment could help lift the overall crypto market to a $5 trillion valuation.
