  • —FSS flagged four RWA hurdles: settlement delays, system risk, lack of standards and legal limits
  • —Regulator warned fragmented mainnets and weak cross-chain bridges threaten the wider financial system
  • —It proposed embedding supervisory requirements into code at the design stage instead of post-hoc penalties
  • —Lawmaker Min Byoung-dug called for a digital asset act plus trust, custody and settlement law reforms
Why it matters: South Korea is shaping its rulebook for asset tokenization, setting a precedent for Asian markets and RWA projects.
