Yesterday, it became known that South Korea adopted a bill establishing a legal framework for security token offerings (STO), clearing the way for regulated issuance and trading of tokenized securities on blockchain.

According to an official government statement, on Thursday, the National Assembly approved amendments to the Capital Markets Act and the Electronic Securities Act at a plenary session.

This is not just a legal formality, but a strategic move intended to legitimize and structure a market for blockchain?based tokenized securities at an institutional level. Issuers and investors will now have clear rules of the game, which should reduce risks and attract institutional capital. The introduction of regulated issuance and trading of STOs opens broad prospects for innovation in financing. Companies will be able to raise capital more efficiently and transparently, bypassing traditional, often cumbersome, IPO procedures. Blockchain will provide improved security and transaction traceability and will open access to new markets and opportunities for investors.

The legislation formally endorses, at the institutional level, the issuance and distribution of tokenized securities using distributed?ledger technology. Amendments to the Electronic Securities Act allow qualified issuers to launch tokenized securities, while amendments to the Capital Markets Act permit these products to be traded as investment contract securities through brokerage firms and other intermediaries.

The amendments also define "token securities" as a broad term applicable to all types of securities, including debt and equity instruments. The South Korean government said the change is expected to be especially useful for non?standardized investment contract securities linked to projects in real estate and the arts.

Exchange Rates 16.01.2026 analysis

Regarding the technical picture for Bitcoin, buyers are currently targeting a return to $95,800, which would open a direct path to $97,600 and then to $99,400. The farthest target is the peak near $102,400. A break above that level would signal attempts to restore the bull market. In the event of a decline, I expect buyers around $94,000. A drop below that area could quickly push BTC toward $92,100. The farthest downside target would be around $90,500.

Regarding the technical picture for Ethereum, clear consolidation above $3,340 opens a direct route to $3,426. The farthest target is the peak near $3,505. A breach of that level would strengthen bullish sentiment and renew buyer interest. If ETH falls, I expect buyers at $3,257. A return below that zone could quickly send ETH down to about $3,192. The farthest downside target would be around $3,129.

What we see on the chart:

- Red lines indicate support and resistance levels where either a price slowdown or active growth is expected;

- Green lines indicate the 50-day moving average;

- Blue lines indicate the 100-day moving average;

- Light green lines indicate the 200-day moving average.

Typically, a crossover or price test of these moving averages either halts market momentum or sets a new directional impulse.
