South Korea's Finance Ministry Classifies Tokenized Stocks as Securities, Plans Taxation by H2 2026

According to Bloomvingbit on June 12, South Korea's Finance Ministry stated that tokenized stocks will be classified as securities rather than virtual assets. If the Financial Services Commission confirms their securities status, taxation can begin immediately under current capital market laws, potentially as early as the second half of this year. The ministry emphasized that while tokenized stocks have the form of virtual assets, they are substantively closer to securities. The Financial Services Commission has previously clarified in its token securities guidelines that token securities are digitally issued securities falling within the scope of capital market regulation. The ministry indicated that overseas offshore transactions involving tokenized stocks would also be subject to taxation, regardless of issuance location.
