[Bitcoin Now] Shin Beomjun, CEO of BuySellStandard: "The Convergence of Tokenized Securities and Stablecoins Is the New Standard in Digital Finance"

"Tokenized securities provide stablecoins with verified real-world asset investment opportunities, while stablecoins offer tokenized securities a global payment infrastructure. This creates a perfect synergy that completes both."

Shin Beomjun, CEO of BuySellStandard, stated at the 'Korea Capital Market Conference 2025' hosted by the Korea Exchange on September 30 that the convergence of tokenized securities and stablecoins will become the new standard in digital finance. He predicted that the combination of these two digital assets would create a new digital financial standard that surpasses the existing financial system.

In his lecture titled 'Tokenized Securities: The New Growth Engine for Korea's Capital Market,' Shin emphasized, "To realize the true potential of tokenized securities, global investor accessibility and an instant settlement system are essential," and added, "For the advancement of stablecoins, stable and attractive real-economy investment destinations are necessary." He continued, "The synergy created by combining the two is clear, and the integration of tokenized securities and stablecoins is already becoming a reality worldwide."

Institutions such as DTCC in the United States, the European Central Bank, and the Monetary Authority of Singapore are actively conducting pilot projects linking stablecoins and tokenized assets. In Korea, Koscom and the Korea Securities Depository are also working to build related infrastructure.

Shin highlighted Korea's unique K-content intellectual property rights as a key differentiator in this global convergence trend. He analyzed, "The scale of tokenizable K-content assets reaches 20 to 30 billion dollars," and added, "The 225 million global Hallyu fans can become active investment participants, not just consumers."

He further stated, "If intellectual property such as K-POP, music, dramas, films, and webtoons is tokenized, a new capital market model that combines fandom and investment will emerge," and emphasized, "This is an opportunity for Korea to secure a unique competitive edge in the global digital asset market."

During his presentation, Shin revealed that BuySellStandard has been proactively pursuing this convergence. "Through the Singapore-based BSFX subsidiary established in April, we are building infrastructure that utilizes stablecoins as a means of payment," he explained. "We are developing a new tokenized securities trading platform that connects domestic and international investors, creating practical examples of the tokenized securities and stablecoin convergence model."

Shin also analyzed that the institutional environment to support such innovative initiatives is rapidly taking shape. Regarding the legislation of tokenized securities, he said, "With the rapid improvement of the legislative environment, five bipartisan lawmakers have sponsored bills, and there is cross-party support. The Financial Services Commission has emphasized this issue eight times in a row, and tokenized securities have been uniquely selected as both a national policy task and a core strategic task in the digital asset sector. All these factors are coming together, making the completion of institutionalization by 2025 increasingly likely," he said. "Tokenized securities will play the role of the first domino, driving the institutionalization of the entire digital asset industry."

He particularly forecast that the development of tokenized securities will help solve structural problems in Korean society. Addressing the issue that 75.2% of Korean household assets are concentrated in real estate, he said, "The fundamental solution is to provide new investment destinations and diversify portfolios in a market-friendly way." He stressed, "Tokenized securities will enable investments in high-value assets starting from as little as 10,000 won, thereby achieving investment democratization that simultaneously addresses asset inequality and drives economic growth."
