Hanwha Builds Avalanche Tokenization Platform
The platform was developed with blockchain technology firm FairSquare Lab, with work beginning in 2025. Seoul Economic Daily reported that the system has now been completed and is designed to operate across multiple blockchain networks.
Hanwha Develops Multi-Chain Tokenization Infrastructure
The platform places Avalanche alongside Hyperledger Besu, an enterprise blockchain based on Ethereum technology. The multi-chain design means Hanwha Investment & Securities is not relying exclusively on a single blockchain network for its tokenized securities infrastructure.
Tokenized securities are financial assets such as stocks and bonds represented through blockchain or distributed-ledger technology. The system allows information related to the issuance and transfer of securities to be recorded and managed through distributed infrastructure.
The reported development gives Hanwha a dedicated platform ahead of major changes to South Korea’s regulatory framework for tokenized securities.
The company’s parent group has also expanded its involvement in blockchain infrastructure. Hanwha Group has accumulated a 9.6% stake in Securitize through three affiliates, while Hanwha Investment & Securities announced a 30 billion Korean won investment in Digital Asset, the operator of Canton Network, in July.
Avalanche Gains Role in South Korea’s Tokenization Infrastructure
Avalanche is one of the blockchain networks supported by Hanwha’s platform. Seoul Economic Daily reported that the Korea Securities Depository is also developing tokenized securities infrastructure capable of connecting with Avalanche, alongside Hyperledger Besu and Hyperledger Fabric.
The depository’s inclusion of Avalanche followed requests from financial companies involved in token securities initiatives, according to the report. Its planned infrastructure is intended to connect regulated participants, including the depository and brokerage firms, while managing issuance volumes and electronic registration data.
The development comes as South Korea prepares to formally integrate tokenized securities into its existing capital-markets framework. Amendments are scheduled to take effect on February 4, 2027, with an initial phase covering privately placed money market funds, bonds, certain unlisted stocks and fractional investment securities.
Regulatory Changes Set 2027 Milestone
South Korea’s Financial Services Commission has outlined a three-stage implementation roadmap for tokenized securities. The longer-term plan includes expanding tokenization to publicly offered securities and developing on-chain payment infrastructure that could allow tokenized securities to be settled using stablecoins.
For Hanwha, the immediate milestone is the completion of its multi-chain tokenization platform. The system’s support for Avalanche and Hyperledger Besu places the brokerage’s blockchain infrastructure in position ahead of the regulatory changes scheduled to take effect on February 4, 2027.
