Korean stock market circuit breaker, crypto follows suit


South Korea's KOSPI plunged 10% today, directly triggering a circuit breaker.
The cause was a "tax rumor" — saying that unrealized gains from stocks and real estate would be included in comprehensive taxation.
Samsung and SK Hynix led the decline. Semiconductor leveraged ETFs are heavily retail-invested, leading to stampede selling once they drop.
The key point is: South Korea is one of the most active crypto trading markets globally, with an extremely high retail investor ratio.
Korean stock circuit breaker → Korean won depreciation → Korean retail investors sell crypto → BTC under pressure.
You think South Korea's problems have nothing to do with you?
The crypto market has never been about "nothing to do with me".
