Shinhan Asset Management partners with Plume on tokenized fund pilot
Ikhtisar: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.
