Shinhan Asset Management partners with Plume on tokenized fund pilot
Zusammenfassung:Shinhan Asset Management has signed an MOU with tokenization-focused blockchain network Plume to develop a proof of concept for a Korean won-denominated tokenized fund. The pilot will use a Shinhan won-denominated ultra-short-term bond fund as the underlying asset and BlackRocks BUIDL tokenized fund as a benchmark to test issuance and distribution. It will also assess compliance requirements for tokenized investment products, including whitelist-based transfer restrictions, onchain operations, KYC checks, and AML controls. Shinhan says the pilot aims to test overseas use of won-denominated financial products in onchain markets that have largely developed around dollar-denominated assets. Separately, Shinhan Card signed an MOU with the Solana Foundation in April to test stablecoin payments, and Shinhan Bank completed a stablecoin remittance pilot in July 2023.
South Koreas Shinhan Asset Management signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with tokenization-focused blockchain network Plume to develop a proof of concept for a Korean won-denominated tokenized fund.
The pilot project will use a Shinhan won-denominated ultra-short-term bond fund as its underlying asset and BlackRocks BUIDL tokenized fund as a benchmark to test the issuance and distribution process, Shinhan said on Friday.
The companies will also test compliance requirements for tokenized investment products, including whitelist-based transfer restrictions, onchain operations, Know-Your-Customer checks and Anti-Money Laundering controls.
Shinhan said the pilot is intended to test the overseas use of won-denominated financial products in onchain markets that have largely developed around dollar-denominated assets.
In April, fellow Shinhan Financial Group affiliate Shinhan Card signed an MOU with the Solana Foundation to test stablecoin payment technology and explore the use of non-custodial wallets. Another group affiliate, Shinhan Bank, completed a stablecoin remittance pilot in July 2023.
