The scale of leveraged ETFs in the South Korean stock market has risen to approximately $45 billion, reaching a record high.

Mars Finance News: On July 3, The Kobeissi Letter said that the leverage level in the South Korean stock market is at an extreme level. The asset management size of South Korean leveraged ETFs has risen to an all-time high of approximately $45 billion, up about 800% since the beginning of 2026. It pointed out that the ratio of leveraged exposure to free-float market capitalization has risen to a record high of about 2.9%, up more than 3 times from the January level. Free-float market capitalization refers to the portion of shares that is actually available for public trading. Meanwhile, the asset size of the 2x Long SK Hynix ETF listed in Hong Kong once rose to approximately $15 billion, making it the largest single-stock leveraged product in the world. By comparison, the four major 2x long ETFs that track Micron (MU), NVIDIA (NVDA), SanDisk (SNDK), and Tesla (TSLA) have never had asset sizes exceeding $10 billion.
