Additionally, Securitize and LG CNS plan to develop tokenization solutions suited to Korea’s evolving regulatory environment. They will also explore infrastructure for digital asset treasuries and stablecoins.The companies could eventually support round-the-clock distribution, execution, and settlement of tokenized financial products.

Carlos Domingo, Co-Founder and CEO of Securitize, said the partnership combines regulated onchain finance experience with LG CNS’s local expertise. He added that the companies want to bring more high-quality financial products onchain in Korea.
