The Korea Exchange (KRX) plans to launch a new securities market on November 16, enabling alternative assets such as art, real estate, and music royalties to be traded through securities accounts in a manner similar to stocks. KRX will conduct a six-week simulation trading period from October 6 to November 13, with the final launch date potentially adjusted based on the financial regulatory authority’s approval timeline for listed products. After market launch, investors will be able to trade these products through securities firms during the same hours as the Korean stock market. Initially, related products will be issued and registered in traditional electronic securities form; once the legislation on tokenized securities is expected to take effect in February 2027, STO products based on blockchain distributed ledgers are anticipated to gradually be introduced.
