Tokenization platform Securitize announced a memorandum of understanding with South Korean technology company LG CNS, and both parties will collaborate to develop tokenized assets and digital asset infrastructure for South Korean financial institutions, explore tokenized funds, stocks, and stablecoins, and seek relevant opportunities in the Asia-Pacific market. Following the announcement, Securitize (SECZ) saw its stock price rise nearly 8% to about $12.6 in early trading on Tuesday, before retreating. The company went public on the New York Stock Exchange in July this year after merging with special purpose acquisition company Cantor Equity Partners II.This collaboration comes as South Korea prepares new regulations for tokenized securities. The Financial Services Commission of South Korea proposed regulatory rules last week for the issuance and circulation of tokenized stocks, bonds, funds, and other securities, with the framework set to take effect in February 2027. On the same day, LG CNS also launched a blockchain infrastructure platform to help financial institutions such as banks support stablecoins and tokenized securities.Securitize has become a major player in the tokenized real-world asset market, which has grown to about $40 billion, with early growth primarily focused on interest-bearing assets such as U.S. Treasury bonds and private credit, while tokenized stocks are gradually emerging. According to RWA.xyz data, the market capitalization of tokenized stocks is approximately $3.2 billion, having increased by 10.6% in the past 30 days. Securitize CEO Carlos Domingo has stated that even with limited adoption, it could have a greater impact on the crypto market, and tokenized stocks are expected to drive the overall valuation of the crypto market to $5 trillion.
