Meritz Securities partners with Canton Foundation to explore tokenized Korean assets
South Korean investment firm Meritz Securities announced a partnership with the Canton Foundation. The memorandum of understanding aims to explore tokenizing domestic securities and using blockchain-based tokens for cross‑border liquidity and collateral. The collaboration will examine Canton’s privacy‑enabled infrastructure and tokenized sovereign‑grade debt for institutional transactions. Meritz reported 8.35 trillion won in shareholders’ equity as of June 2026 and manages roughly KRW 65‑73 trillion ($48.3‑$54.3 billion). The initiative is exploratory and depends on Korea’s evolving securities regulations.
