The South Korean National Assembly may approve the tokenization securities bill.
According to Gate News bot, South Korea's parliament may be about to approve a draft tokenized securities bill that will eventually give South Korean companies the right to issue blockchain tokens linked to real estate, raw materials, livestock, and copyrighted works. Two bills proposing to institutionalize tokenized securities are under consideration by the Congressional Political Affairs Committee. The bill was drafted by MPs Min Byeong-deok and Kim Jae-seop. Since last December, when former President Yoon Suk-yeol tried unsuccessfully to impose martial law, the National Assembly has been effectively deadlocked. But with the inauguration of Democratic Party (DP) President Lee Jae-myung yesterday, the deadlock is expected to be broken. Democrats have an absolute majority in Congress. Senior party officials have repeatedly called on the Seoul Metropolitan Government to legalize the issuance of security tokens (STOs).
