Özet: Kripto piyasasında önemli gelişmeler yaşanıyor.

KOREA Chainalysis ranked South Korea as East Asia’s largest crypto economy at $449.1 billion.

Activity grew 12.3% in the year to June 2026, from the previous year, with retail traders showing a strong preference for AI-linked tokens.   However, the first half of 2026 has not been kind to South Korean crypto exchanges, which saw operating profits fall 78% as trading activity, market valuations and customer deposits declined.  Shares of tokenization platform Securitize rallied sharply on Tuesday after the company announced a partnership with South Korean technology company LG CNS.

Securitize and LG CNS signed a memorandum of understanding to develop tokenized assets and digital asset infrastructure for South Korean financial institutions.

The partnership gives Securitize an early foothold in South Korea as the country prepares to implement a new framework for tokenized securities.

Last week, the country’s Financial Services Commission proposed rules governing the issuance and circulation of tokenized stocks, bonds, funds and other securities, with the framework set to take effect in February 2027.

SINGAPORE Standard Chartered said Singapore’s role as a “leading financial and innovation hub” is an important part of its “global strategy.” Singapore-licensed crypto exchange Independent Reserve has added cross border payment tools enabling businesses to make fiat and stablecoin payouts.

Accounts can be funded in Singapore or US dollars to make payments to suppliers or employees in more than 20 currencies.

The exchange has also just launched crypto derivatives trading for sophisticated investors via subsidiary ReserveX.

Payward, the parent company of Kraken, and Singapore Gulf Bank have announced a partnership to enable round-the-clock institutional crypto settlement.
