Securitize said it has signed a memorandum of understanding with South Korean technology company LG CNS to explore tokenized funds, stocks and stablecoin-related products, while working to support broader adoption of tokenized assets and digital asset infrastructure among Korean financial institutions. After the announcement, Securitize (SECZ) rose nearly 8% in early Tuesday trading to about $12.60 before trimming some of those gains.
The announcement came as South Korea moves closer to a formal regime for security token offerings. The country’s Financial Services Commission last week proposed a regulatory framework that would govern the issuance and distribution of tokenized stocks, bonds and funds starting in February 2027. Around the same time, LG CNS launched a blockchain infrastructure platform aimed at supporting banks and financial institutions with stablecoin and tokenized securities services.
Securitize is already a major platform in the real-world asset, or RWA, tokenization segment, a market currently valued at about $40 billion. As traditional financial firms step up efforts around on-chain equities, the tokenized stock market has grown 10.6% over the past 30 days to roughly $3.2 billion. CEO Carlos Domingo previously said that even limited adoption of tokenized equities could materially expand the size of the crypto market.

During the same period, LG CNS rolled out a blockchain infrastructure platform designed to support banks and other financial institutions with stablecoin and tokenized securities-related services.
