Hanwha Investment & Securities Picks Chainlink for Global RWA Tokenization Platform

What Chainlink provides to the platform

According to the announcement, Chainlink will supply trusted pricing and net asset value (NAV) data for the assets issued on the platform. CCIP, in turn, is meant to let those assets and liquidity move securely across public and private blockchains.

The companies say assets can be issued on the chain best suited to their characteristics. Through a single integration, they can then reach more investors and liquidity across global markets, without a custom integration for every new network.

Hanwha Investment & Securities contributes quality assets from global asset managers, structuring expertise and institutional-grade market infrastructure. Chainlink contributes the data and interoperability standards that connect them across networks. The partnership covers the path from tokenizing real-world assets to the markets where they are distributed and used, including as collateral.

Joint working group and focus areas

The two firms are setting up a joint working group to explore three topics:

• institutional use cases for executing securely into onchain finance while meeting compliance and custody requirements;
• the valuation and reserve verification methods, use cases and standards needed to use a wide range of RWAs as collateral;
• technology and compliance aligned with the institutionalization of tokenized securities in Korea.

Hanwha Investment & Securities says it is in discussions with global asset managers and issuers about tokenizing and distributing a range of RWA products. It plans to bring these assets to institutional investors and onchain markets via Chainlink. The firms intend to turn what they learn into standards that institutions can adopt, and to widen participation through Chainlink's global network of financial institutions and protocols.

Chainlink is also providing dedicated technical support for the platform and priority access to new solutions.

Korea's tokenized securities framework

The announcement notes that South Korea, described as one of Asia's leading digital asset hubs, is set to introduce its tokenized securities framework in February 2027. Hanwha Investment & Securities says it is preparing for both the Korean tokenized securities market and the global digital asset market. Its global digital asset business is based in Seoul and Abu Dhabi.

Insung An, Chief Digital Officer at Hanwha Investment & Securities, said the goal is "to tokenize quality assets that clients have wanted but found difficult to access." He called Chainlink "our key global strategic partner" in that effort.

Johann Eid, Chief Business Officer at Chainlink Labs, said: "Tokenizing assets is the first step, but connecting them across public and private blockchains is what unlocks access to users, markets, and liquidity worldwide."

What it means

For the market, the announcement points to a Korean securities firm building its tokenization infrastructure on a shared data and cross-chain standard rather than custom connections. The stated focus on valuation and reserve verification for collateral use suggests that pricing and usage criteria for tokenized assets are a central question for the project. No launch date, specific products or asset volumes were given in the announcement, so the practical scope of the platform remains to be seen.
