Samsung SDS will build a tokenised securities platform for Korea Securities Depository ahead of South Korea’s 2027 digital securities framework.
The platform will connect blockchain ledger infrastructure with KSD’s existing electronic securities account system to support issuance and rights management.
South Korean regulators are preparing legal and operational rules for tokenised securities as blockchain-based registries move toward formal adoption.

Samsung SDS has secured a contract from the Korea Securities Depository (KSD) to develop and operate a tokenised securities platform, marking a significant step in South Korea’s plans to establish blockchain-based market infrastructure for digital securities. The platform is expected to be completed by February 2027.

The project will transition KSD’s existing technology verification testbed into a full operational platform capable of supporting live transaction processing and stable services. KSD intends to connect its current electronic securities account system with blockchain-based distributed ledger data to improve tokenised securities issuance and rights management.

Blockchain Systems Move Beyond Testing

Samsung SDS has already been involved in KSD’s tokenised securities initiatives, having completed functional analysis consulting work in 2024 and construction of a testbed platform in 2025. The company said it would also establish supporting infrastructure, including blockchain node management systems, gateway systems and distributed ledger architecture for the platform.

A core component of the platform will be a total volume management system designed to monitor issuance and circulation volumes of tokenised securities in real time. According to Samsung SDS, the feature is intended to strengthen transparency and oversight across digital securities activity.

South Korea has been preparing legislation to support tokenised securities. In January, amendments to the Electronic Registration Act and the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act passed the National Assembly, legally recognising blockchain-based distributed ledgers as securities registries.

The Financial Services Commission later launched a public-private consultative body in March to develop rules covering technology, issuance, circulation, payment and settlement ahead of the framework’s planned commencement on 4 February 2027.
