At a South Korean digital asset policy conference, Dunamu vice chairman and co-founder Kim Hyoung-nyon said tokenized shares of major Korean companies such as Samsung Electronics and SK hynix could only be traded on overseas exchanges. His remarks were reported by Yonhap on November 12, 2026, according to TechFlow.
Kim said South Korea had not yet established a regulatory framework for tokenized-stock or perpetual-futures trading, and that some market opportunities were moving overseas. He said Dunamu, Upbit’s parent company, had completed technical preparations through long-running work with securities firms and financial institutions, but would need regulatory permission before launching the relevant businesses.
The conference also discussed accelerating legislation on a Digital Asset Basic Act and allowing institutions and companies to invest in crypto assets. Participants expressed differing views on the legislative timetable and how regulation should proceed.
