Avalanche stated that the South Korean KSD platform will support its ledger, with Samsung SDS aiming for completion in February 2027

Avalanche announced on October 13 that the Korean Securities Depository (KSD) is "building infrastructure connections based on Avalanche" for the Korean securities tokenization market. KSD's technical guidelines confirm that Avalanche is one of several ledger technologies supported by its platform plan; Avalanche's post states that the plan covers issuance, trading, clearing, settlement, and investor rights, ultimately achieving on-chain settlement.

KSD's distributed ledger guidelines (reflecting development as of July 2026) place Avalanche alongside Hyperledger Besu and Hyperledger Fabric, committing to support multiple ledger technologies rather than positioning Avalanche as the sole option for Korean securities infrastructure. The project has transitioned from a testing ground to the construction phase of a production platform, with Samsung SDS winning the bid to build it, aiming to convert the technology testing platform into a system that supports real transactions and stable operations, with a target completion date of February 2027.

The roadmap released by the Korean Financial Services Commission in September shows that the revised terms for recognizing tokenized securities will take effect on February 4, 2027, with the first phase launching in the same month, initially covering private money market funds and bonds aimed at institutional investors, non-listed stocks held through trust structures, and publicly issued fractional investment securities. The second phase will expand to all publicly issued securities. On-chain payments related to stablecoins belong to the final phase, and the commission remains flexible on the timing for the second and third phases, setting November 11 as the deadline for public consultation on the implementation regulations.
