Enhancing Investor Protection in Preparation for Re-entering the STO Market

Lucentblock, the operator of the tokenized securities (STO) platform 'SOYOU', announced on the 29th that it has obtained social venture certification from the Ministry of SMEs and Startups.

The social venture certification is a system granted by the Ministry of SMEs and Startups to companies that address social issues through innovative technology and business models, while seeking sustainable growth.

Since its founding, Lucentblock has worked under the mission of "Ownership Opportunities for All," digitizing high-value assets and enabling anyone to participate in investment with small amounts through its fractional investment platform 'SOYOU', thereby lowering the high entry barriers of the high-value asset investment market. The company has been recognized for creating an environment where investors can access high-quality assets with small sums and for reducing disparities in capital accessibility, which led to its certification.

Lucentblock has also operated a variety of ownership benefits and local engagement programs, allowing investors to directly experience the spaces and regions in which they have invested. Through these initiatives, the company has expanded the experience of asset ownership beyond financial returns to include local commercial districts, spatial experiences, and community participation, explaining that this has created a new type of mutually beneficial financial model.

Lucentblock is currently preparing for another attempt to enter the STO distribution market. The company aims to strengthen investor protection systems and operational stability in accordance with the standards required by the institutional financial market, and to contribute to improving the transparency and accessibility of the real asset-based financial market.

Se-Young Heo, CEO of Lucentblock, stated, “This certification is a social recognition of our goal to create a market where more people can enjoy opportunities for asset ownership,” adding, “We will continue to build a safe and transparent investment environment based on technology and develop a platform where investors, communities, and assets grow together.”
