South Korea Delays Decision on OTC Security Token Exchange Licensing

South Korea's Financial Services Commission (FSC) has postponed its final decision regarding the licensing of over-the-counter (OTC) security token exchanges. According to NS3.AI, two consortia, led by Korea Exchange (KRX) and Nextrade, received preliminary approval. However, the exclusion of Lucentblock's consortium has sparked criticism over fairness. Despite completing its review process, the FSC did not discuss the applications during its meeting on January 28.
