Mirae Asset Securities targets Q1 2027 launch of tokenised products

In short

• Mirae Asset Securities is pursuing a first-quarter 2027 launch for its first tokenised financial products, according to Digital Asset.
• The South Korean brokerage is initially reviewing an institution-only private money market fund and privately placed bonds.
• The exact launch date, product structure and how tokens would be issued and distributed have not been confirmed.
• The plan follows Mirae Asset's August outline of a 150 trillion won (about $109bn) digital-asset business.

Mirae's Q1 tokenised launch

Digital Asset reported on 19 October 2026 that Mirae Asset Securities aims to bring its first tokenised financial products to market in the first quarter of 2027. As an initial step, the South Korean brokerage is looking at two products: a private money market fund open only to institutions, and bonds placed privately. According to the report, it has yet to settle on a launch date, a product structure, or the way tokens would be issued and distributed.

Mirae's $109bn digital push

Mirae Asset Securities is part of Mirae Asset, a South Korean financial group that in August outlined plans to build a 150 trillion won (about $109bn) digital-asset business, according to MSN. The group named tokenised gold, silver and electricity among the possible products. The tokenised product plan is a more concrete step toward that target.

Private money funds explained

Tokenisation turns rights to traditional financial products into blockchain-based digital tokens, so ownership and transfer records can be logged and managed on a blockchain. For Mirae Asset Securities, that would apply to privately placed money market funds and private bonds sold to a limited group of investors. A money market fund mainly invests in short-term financial instruments such as short-dated government and corporate debt.

Who can buy in first

The first products are designed for institutional investors rather than everyday buyers. Private placements raise funds from a limited pool of investors, unlike public offerings that can be sold to a broad investor base. That means Mirae Asset Securities is starting with professional and institutional clients while it tests how tokenised issuance and distribution will work.

Other firms move too

The move lands as other large financial firms push into tokenised assets. Alpaca said in October that it plans a prime brokerage for hedge funds and other large institutions in the first quarter of 2027, and Deutsche Bank said its first crypto custody service in Germany would launch within weeks, according to Odaily. The timing suggests tokenisation of traditional finance is speeding up.

For now, the launch date and product specifics remain undecided. Digital Asset reported that Mirae Asset Securities has not confirmed how the tokens would be issued and distributed. The company has said only that the launch is planned for the first quarter of 2027, and the final product lineup may still change.

Questions readers ask

What tokenised products is Mirae Asset Securities planning?

Mirae Asset Securities is reviewing an institution-only private money market fund and privately placed bonds as its first tokenised products, targeting a first-quarter 2027 launch, according to Digital Asset. The launch date, product structure and how tokens would be issued and distributed have not yet been confirmed.

Who can invest in Mirae Asset Securities' tokenised products?

The first tokenised products are designed for institutional investors. Private placements raise funds from a limited pool of investors, unlike public offerings sold to a broad base, so the initial products are not aimed at everyday retail investors.

What is Mirae Asset's broader digital-asset plan?

Mirae Asset, the parent group of Mirae Asset Securities, outlined plans in August to build a 150 trillion won (about $109bn) digital-asset business, including tokenised gold, silver and electricity, according to MSN. The securities unit's Q1 2027 tokenisation plan is a step toward that target.

Our view

At InvestIn.News, we think Mirae Asset Securities' first-quarter 2027 target is realistic, not rushed. The timeline gives the brokerage time to settle issuance and distribution while still responding to a market in which more and more companies will tokenise securities to attract global investors. That direction matters as much as the date. Mirae's plan starts with private, institution-only products, which is prudent: private money market funds and bonds require fewer regulatory and retail-protection steps than public tokenised offerings. The real test will come when Mirae Asset Securities names the exact launch date, product structure and distribution method. If those details are delivered in the first quarter, it would confirm that institutional tokenisation in Asia has moved from experiment to scheduled rollout.
