According to a report by Jinse Finance, a South Korean court has acquitted Jang Hyun-guk, former CEO of blockchain gaming company Wemade, of charges related to manipulating the circulation of the WEMIX cryptocurrency. Prosecutors alleged that Jang Hyun-guk had falsely announced a suspension of WEMIX token liquidation in order to stabilize its price and boost investor confidence in the asset. However, the court found no clear evidence indicating an intent to manipulate the market. Prosecutors also claimed that under Jang Hyun-guk’s leadership, Wemade unfairly sold over $200 million worth of WEMIX tokens on the market between February and October 2022, without complying with South Korea’s Capital Markets Act disclosure requirements. The company was also suspected of using these tokens to invest in external funds and obtaining stablecoin loans with Wemix as collateral.

Goldman Sachs Volatility Panic Index surged to 9.57, approaching its maximum value, with the largest single-day increase ranking third in history, and the combined two-day volatility setting a new record. Historical data shows that after this index has exceeded the 9.5 threshold 15 times, the S&P 500 has seen an average three-month gain of 4.6% with a success rate of 80%. However, Goldman Sachs traders warn that forced liquidations have not yet fully cleared, and the market is still searching for a bottom, but opportunities on the other side are becoming increasingly difficult to ignore.
