The biggest gamble in Korean financial history is coming! 😱

Starting July 6, the Korean won will historically begin 24-hour trading.
The Korean won exchange rate is at its absolute bottom in 17 years, a terrible sight.
Korea's original currency market had firewalls and time limits at night, but now the floodgates are wide open, essentially handing all-day hunting knives to global short-selling capital that never sleeps, at a time when Korea is at its weakest.
The foreign exchange market, when liquidity is most depleted in the middle of the night, is most vulnerable to targeted bombing by speculative funds.
1997 - Disastrous: International hedge funds used gaps to heavily short the Korean won, causing an exchange rate avalanche, bringing the country close to bankruptcy, and finally forcing it to sign a humiliating IMF agreement.
2024 - Turmoil: Under a strong dollar cycle, the Korean won plummeted, capital outflows accelerated, and regulators began planning foreign exchange structural reforms.
2026 - Innovation: On July 6, the Korean won completely removed time restrictions. In order to squeeze into the MSCI developed market index, Korea voluntarily dismantled its defenses, throwing its currency directly into the global hunting ground where capital never sleeps.
