Mirae Asset Securities' US affiliate joins Tokenization Working Group

SEOUL - South Korea’s Mirae Asset Securities said Friday its U.S. affiliate joined the Tokenization Working Group headed by the Depository Trust & Clearing Corp.

The Seoul-based brokerage house said its participation reflects recognition of its proven track record with the depository corporation’s clearing system and its established standing in the U.S. market.

As the backbone of clearing and settlement operations in the U.S. financial market, the corporation has assumed a leading role in discussions about infrastructure for tokenized securities.

A host of leading Wall Street firms take part in the working group, including JPMorgan Chase, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, BlackRock, Citigroup, UBS and the New York Stock Exchange.

Based on its experience in trading, clearing and post-trade processes, Mirae Asset Securities said that its U.S. unit would provide practical insights to the initiative.

The company said that it would discuss key issues like the operational structure of tokenized securities backed by real-world assets such as U.S. Treasury bonds and equities.

“This participation is significant because it allows us to preemptively respond to rapid shifts in tokenization infrastructure and market structures within global financial markets,” Mirae Asset Securities said in a statement.

“It also demonstrates that we are actively taking part in the U.S. regulated securities market,” the firm added. “Down the road, we will keep strengthening our capabilities to adapt to next-generation financial market changes.”

The share price of Mirae Asset Securities rose 0.76% on the Seoul bourse Friday.
