Key points

  • Hanwha Investment & Securities designated Chainlink's data feeds and CCIP as official infrastructure for its global tokenization platform 1.
  • A joint working group will design standards for using tokenized RWAs as collateral and complying with upcoming regulatory rules 1.
  • The deployment precedes South Korea's anticipated rollout of an official tokenized securities framework in February 2027 1.

Hanwha Investment & Securities, the financial arm of South Korea's Fortune Global 500 conglomerate Hanwha, has entered a strategic partnership with Chainlink to develop a global real-world asset (RWA) tokenization platform, the companies announced on Oct. 30 1. Under the agreement, the brokerage will integrate Chainlink's pricing feeds and net asset value (NAV) data alongside the Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) as its primary infrastructure 1. The system aims to issue assets on specialized networks and facilitate cross-chain settlement across both public and private blockchains without requiring custom point-to-point connections 1.

The initiative comes as South Korea prepares to formally launch its regulatory framework for tokenized securities in February 2027 1. To align with institutional requirements, the two firms formed a joint working group tasked with developing standards for valuation, reserve verification, onchain custody, compliance, and deploying tokenized collateral into decentralized markets 1. The brokerage stated it is negotiating with global asset managers and issuers to distribute tokenized instruments to institutional participants 1. Chainlink will provide dedicated technical resources and integrate the platform into its broader enterprise network 1.

Institutional Push in South Korea

The integration follows existing initiatives across Asian enterprise networks, including earlier joint infrastructure rollouts between Chainlink and LG CNS 1. Operating via hubs in Seoul and Abu Dhabi, Hanwha Investment & Securities is targeting cross-border institutional distribution across Asia and broader international venues ahead of statutory legalization 1.

At the time of writing, native asset $LINK traded at $10.48, down 8.7% over the previous 24 hours amid broader market liquidations, with $BTC falling 4.4% to $76,521.
