HANWHA BUILDS TOKENIZED SECURITIES PLATFORM ON AVALANCHE

Summary from the TLDR Crypto newsletter

South Korean brokerage Hanwha Investment & Securities reportedly built a tokenized securities platform (started in 2025 with FairSquare Lab) running on Avalanche and Hyperledger Besu, ahead of South Korea's securities tokenization law taking effect in February. Regulators plan a phased rollout starting with private money market funds, bonds, and unlisted stocks, eventually expanding to public securities and stablecoin settlement rails. Hanwha is also Securitize's largest shareholder (9.6% stake) and separately invested $22.3M in Canton Network operator Digital Asset.
