South Korea exchanges getting REKT 📉
H1 2026 data just dropped from KoFIU (26 registered VASPs):
78% crash in operating profits
44% drop in daily volume
Korea was a top-3 retail crypto market. This isn't just a local story — it's a liquidity warning.
When Korean volume dies, altcoin pumps get way harder. Retail is the exit liquidity and it's evaporating.
Watch for:
• Exchanges cutting staff/services
• More regulatory pressure incoming
• Capital rotating to other APAC markets
If you're trading alts, Korean volume drying up = less dumb money = harder to exit. Adjust risk accordingly.
