Korean regulators are concerned about retail investors excessively chasing leveraged ETFs from Samsung and SK Hynix, considering taking separate measures in response.
At a press conference held on June 22, 2026, Lee Chan-jin said that the negative effects caused by individual stock leverage ETFs have intensified, and in addition to strengthening monitoring of trading behaviors, regulatory authorities are also considering introducing other measures to stabilize the market, in order to hedge against the potential chain reaction risks triggered by the sharp fluctuations of leverage ETFs tracking SK Hynix and Samsung Electronics.
Lee Chan-jin stated, "I am deeply concerned that ordinary investors find it difficult to obtain substantial returns, while all profit dividends are absorbed by the operating institutions."
On May 27, 2026, leverage ETFs based on Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix as underlying assets were listed on the local Korean stock exchange, attracting a frenzy of market funds.
According to the Korea Financial Supervisory Service, the total market value of these leverage ETFs has increased from 4.5 trillion won on the day of listing to 9.6 trillion won as of June 12.
These leverage ETFs have an average daily turnover rate of as high as 122.5%, far exceeding the 30.2% turnover rate of other leverage and inverse ETFs. (Caixin)
Affected by this news, the Korean KOSPI index fell 8.18% as of the time of press, triggering the circuit breaker twice.
