Democratic Party calls for institutional reforms to achieve a 'KOSDAQ 3000'…growth blueprint built on digital assets and tokenized securities

With the KOSDAQ index breaking above the 1,000 mark, the ruling party assessed the move as a signal of innovation-led growth and a restructuring of capital-market architecture, underscoring the need for institutional reforms including digital assets and tokenized securities.

According to the industry on the 26th, Kim Hyun-jung, floor spokesperson for the Democratic Party of Korea, said in a National Assembly briefing that day, calling it “a meaningful achievement that reopens the era of the ‘1,000 KOSDAQ’ about four years after ‘KOSPI 5,000.’”

Kim also pointed to a recent shift in sentiment in the KOSDAQ market. “Since the government expressed its willingness to provide policy support with the goal of elevating the KOSDAQ, investor sentiment—centered on growth stocks—has been gradually recovering,” she said, adding that “this is a sign that our economy is once again bringing together the momentum for innovation and growth.”

She continued, “The KOSDAQ regaining vitality means future growth engines are becoming more solid,” stressing that “the KOSDAQ is a stage for innovation where technology-based companies and small and venture firms can make a leap through the capital market.” She added, “When the achievements they create translate into competitiveness across industry, the ‘1,000 KOSDAQ’ will become a foundation for growth beyond a mere number.”

Calling the “1,000 KOSDAQ” “just the beginning,” Kim said, “We will build a market where innovation is fairly valued and growth is shared equitably.” She added, “President Lee Jae-myung has also presented the goal of opening an era of KOSDAQ 3,000 based on new financial infrastructure such as digital assets and tokenized securities,” and emphasized, “The party and the government will join forces on institutional reforms and market revitalization to make this a reality.”

She said, “To ensure the meaning of the ‘1,000 KOSDAQ’ does not remain a temporary number, we will establish investor protection and restore market order, while firmly supporting the growth of innovative companies,” adding, “We will carry this through to rebuilding public trust in the capital market in ways people can feel.”
