Korean market-making discussions enter the hot list on the main square｜Four alleged unfair trading cases have been reported｜SOL at $120; I’ll wait

My stance is to first look at the real market depth, and not chase institutional expectation. “Market-making” discussion isn’t the same as rules taking effect; trading being lively doesn’t equal a new growth-cycle inflow. As for SOL, I’m not participating at the moment.

This round, the topic about the Korean Financial Services Commission’s research on a virtual-asset market-making system appeared on the main square homepage. Binance News relayed an interview from the media, saying the related arrangements would be re-discussed in the second-stage legislation. I didn’t find a primary official document that matches that interview exactly, so I treat it only as policy discussion reported by the media—not as evidence that Korea has already opened up market-making today, and certainly not as a basis to infer that SOL has already been granted regulatory designation or new quotas.

The piece of evidence that is formal and solid is another related fact: on September 23, the Korean Financial Services Commission published a report-and-notification announcement regarding alleged unfair trading cases. An official policy summary compiled by the Korea Development Institute (KDI) shows that four cases are involved, including behavior such as using repeated procedures to trade at market prices, coordinating high-price limit orders to attract follow-buys, and allegedly inflating trading volume to meet listing conditions. I cross-checked the regulator’s announcement dates and government policy materials; these are procedural actions in the alleged cases—not a conviction, and there’s no basis to describe the involved assets as SOL.

How does this affect crypto trading? Quote services and manufacturing false trades are different things. Ongoing two-sided quoting may improve bid-ask spreads, but the成交 volume on the screen may also include churn from repeated switching; it doesn’t directly equal net buying. Regulators are discussing market efficiency on one side and emphasizing market integrity on the other. For traders, the impact is raising the evidence threshold—not chasing the upside just because you see the words “market-making.”

Reaction so far? In this round, Kraken’s USD spot is around 119.97; over the past 24 hours it’s been 119 to 124.91, still in the lower part of the range. This quote reflects the current price location and does not prove that the Korean-side discussions led to the rise or fall. Market expectations in the news haven’t replaced price repair yet.

If I were trading myself: my position is zero. The only direction I’m considering is taking long exposure on unleveraged spot. I’ll wait for one-hour candle close above 122, then pull back and hold between 121.5 and 122—only if spot quotes and deposits/withdrawals are normal, I’ll use at most 0.3% of total capital to trial the position. Halve at 124, then exit the remainder at 125; hard stop at 120.5. If the two one-hour candles close below 121.5, I exit everything. If it breaks below 118.5 before entry, I cancel the plan—no chasing, no adding to cover losses. If it hasn’t triggered, there’s no fill, and therefore no profit.

If the official rules differ from what the media says, or if depth worsens and the bid-ask spread clearly expands, I withdraw the expectation of liquidity improvement. If later the rules and actual trades are jointly validated, I’ll re-evaluate—no loosening of the stop-loss.
