SINGAPORE, October 27, 2026 (Chainwire) — Mirae Asset Securities (HK) Limited, the Hong Kong subsidiary of Korea's leading securities firm, has arranged an issuance of tokenised funding notes under its affiliate's structured notes programme, with digital asset platform Grvt subscribing to the notes.

Grvt has subscribed for the notes and intends to use the resulting exposure in connection with Grvt Earn, subject to applicable requirements. Grvt Earn is offered and operated independently by Grvt and is available only to eligible users in permitted jurisdictions. Any use of the resulting exposure in connection with Grvt Earn is independently determined and managed by Grvt.

From Tokenised Funding Notes to Tokenised ETFs

Tokenised funding notes are described as the starting point of the partnership. Beyond the initial issuance, the two firms will next explore additional tokenised products, including tokenised Treasuries, corporate bonds and, over time, ETFs. Tokenised versions of these instruments would bring familiar capital market products into onchain form. The companies characterized this expansion as non-committed and exploratory, with any further offerings dependent on applicable regulatory approvals and product and compliance clearance.

The transaction represents an initial collaboration between the two firms. The parties may explore further opportunities involving tokenised products, subject to applicable legal and regulatory requirements and their respective internal approvals. For observers tracking the partnership, progress on those regulatory clearances and internal approvals is the near-term checkpoint that will indicate whether the roadmap extends beyond this initial issuance.

Mirae Asset Financial Group oversees more than US$1 trillion in client assets worldwide as of September 2026.

Statements from Both Firms

Executives from both firms framed the transaction as an early step toward broader tokenisation of capital market products.

Hong Yea, Co-founder and CEO of Grvt, said: "When Korea's leading securities firm explores opportunities in tokenised assets, collaboration with market participants plays an important role. Grvt's subscription to Mirae Asset Securities' tokenised funding notes marks an initial step in this collaboration. Together, we intend to explore opportunities involving tokenised Treasuries, corporate bonds and, over time, ETFs for eligible investors in permitted jurisdictions, subject to applicable regulatory requirements."

The announcement also stated: "We see tokenisation as an important area of development for capital markets. Grvt's subscription to this tokenised funding note issuance represents an opportunity to explore the use of tokenised securities in new market structures. We look forward to exploring further opportunities."

Kelly Sohn, Head of Digital Assets at Mirae Asset Securities (HK) Limited, said: "This issuance marks a step forward in our digital asset strategy, bringing our structured product capabilities into tokenised markets. We look forward to exploring further opportunities with Grvt, subject to applicable regulatory requirements and internal approvals."

Mirae Asset Securities' Digital Asset Expansion

Mirae Asset Securities has moved quickly to connect traditional finance and digital assets in 2026. In January, it became the first Korean securities firm to issue digital bonds in Hong Kong. In April, Mirae Asset Securities (HK) Limited became the first Korean-owned brokerage to receive approval from the Securities and Futures Commission ("SFC") to offer digital asset trading to retail investors. In July, the firm launched MAPS in Hong Kong, a single app for traditional and digital assets featuring products allowed by the SFC. The tokenised funding note issuance extends that sequence into structured products.
