Tokenised securities — networks named in documents
What a document names, and nothing more. No law in the sixteen jurisdictions read for this names a network; a depository's guideline or a release does. Each line was checked against its document on 2026-10-07, and a status changes only when the document is read again.
| Networks | Status | Scope | Document |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hyperledger Besu Hyperledger Fabric Avalanche |
Depository guideline | Every token security registered once the amended Electronic Securities Act takes effect on 4 February 2027. KSD joins each ledger as the node that tracks the total quantity issued.The three are listed as equals, as of July 2026; any other ledger needs prior consultation with KSD. A KSD official told Seoul Economic Daily that Avalanche was added at participants' request, not chosen in advance. The amended law and the FSC's draft decrees of 1 October 2026 name no network. | Standard Requirements Guideline for Token-Securities Distributed Ledgers — annex 3 to the FSC release of 4 September 2026, p. 42, item D-1-3Korea Securities Depository, published by the Financial Services Commission · 2026-09-04 · checked 2026-10-07“KSD는 시장 준비현황 파악을 통해 Hyperledger Besu, Hyperledger Fabric, Avalanche과 연계 가능하도록 ‘KSD 토큰증권 플랫폼’을 구축 중(’26. 7월 기준)” |
