Just noticed something interesting this week - Korean stocks got absolutely hammered, down like 20% in two days, and at the same time Bitcoin just broke above 72k. Probably not a coincidence. The Korean market had gone crazy with retail traders piling into AI stocks, pushing the index up nearly 180% since last spring, but that bubble burst hard. So now those traders are rotating back into crypto like they always do. Trading volumes on Korean exchanges have picked up noticeably. The thing is, the Kimchi premium is only sitting around 1% right now, which means there's definitely more activity but we're not at that frenzied speculative level yet. It's more like a measured shift rather than FOMO mode. ETH, SOL and XRP are all moving similarly to Bitcoin. Worth watching if Korean retail demand actually accelerates from here or if this is just the initial rotation.

BTC0,45%
ETH2,47%
SOL0,48%
XRP0,29%
