The consequences of South Korea's martial law may trigger calls for reform in the cryptocurrency market

On December 6, Minho Leem, a digital asset analyst at Xinrong Securities, stated that after the South Korean President Yoon Seok-youl issued a brief martial law order, fluctuations occurred in the South Korean crypto market. This could potentially prompt calls for regulatory reform. In the long run, this incident exposed the vulnerability of the crypto market when dealing with special situations in South Korea. With nearly 11% of global cryptocurrency trading volume, its closed structure is still concerning. The South Korean government may explore ways to ensure exchange liquidity and increase transparency through real-time abnormal transaction monitoring systems.
