Woofun AI reports that South Korea's Ministry of Economy and Finance intends to pass the "Basic Act on National Assets," formally incorporating digital assets and intellectual property into the national asset definition. The ministry plans a 2027 pilot program to tokenize government bonds via blockchain, aiming to reduce transaction costs and explore tokenizing state-owned real estate for retail investor access.

The government also announced a strategy to connect these tokenized bonds to central bank digital currency infrastructure by 2027, while studying interoperability with other blockchains.

Additionally, tokenized deposits will be used for operational expenditures starting in the fourth quarter of 2026, with amendments to the "Capital Market Act" and "Electronic Securities Act" taking effect on February 4, 2027, to legally recognize blockchain ledgers as securities registries.
