🇰🇷 The KOSPI no longer plays in the same league.
+4.4% today, driven by Samsung and SK Hynix, which are riding the wave of AI semiconductors. The index is now +22% since its July low—and yes, that same month also saw a -22% correction.
A real roller coaster.
Full-year result: +60%+ in 2026, despite the July purge.
Why does this matter if you’re in crypto?
This isn’t just “the Korean stock market is doing well.” It’s a signal about risk appetite on a global scale—and AI is still the narrative pulling everyone higher, from stocks to crypto. When capital comes back aggressively into semiconductors, it reflects renewed confidence in the tech cycle. Historically, this kind of rotation often precedes a renewed interest in high-beta assets—and crypto, especially AI-related tokens, is part of that.
To watch: if KOSPI momentum holds, it could be one of the macro tailwinds to keep an eye on for the rest of the quarter in riskier markets.
