KOSPI triggers sell-side sidecar; leveraged ETFs hit volatility interruption
KOSPI hit a sell-side sidecar. Leverage products briefly entered VI.
Exchanges halted some order flows after a sharp drop. The sidecar paused futures program trading. Volatility Interruption kicked in for several leveraged ETPs.
Implications for crypto:
- Risk-off in Korea can cut flows to crypto.
- Watch KRW pairs on BTC and ETH.
- Elevated funding risk for KRW-perp traders.
