A startup proved Korea's fractional investment market for eight years, then lost STO approval to a Korea Exchange consortium, raising trust concerns.
- A South Korean startup, LucentBlock, which successfully operated a real estate fractional investment platform for eight years under a regulatory sandbox, was denied approval for a tokenized securities (STO) license.
- The approval was instead granted to a consortium led by the Korea Exchange, raising concerns among founders about the reliability of the regulatory sandbox and the potential for established institutions to displace proven market innovators.
- The article highlights a crisis of trust in the government's system, as founders fear that their efforts to prove market viability may be undermined by regulatory changes that favor capital-rich incumbents.
