South Korea Plans 2027 Tokenized Government Bonds Pilot on CBDC Infrastructure

South Korea's government announced a 2027 pilot program for tokenized government bonds linked to its institutional central bank digital currency (CBDC) infrastructure, according to the 2026 Economic Growth Strategy for the Second Half released Tuesday. The pilot is designed to test whether South Korea's wholesale CBDC can support capital markets infrastructure, including how the Bank of Korea's CBDC system could interoperate with external blockchains. The timing aligns with February 2027 amendments that would recognize distributed ledgers as valid securities registries, enabling regulated issuance of tokenized securities.
