DW NOTE
South Korea's KOSPI has lost 10% since Friday and crypto exchange volumes are up 1,426% — the same rotation that worked in reverse when Korean retail chased semiconductors out of digital assets at the end of last year. Bitcoin is holding $62,600 in what the article calls a "low-stress environment," which is one way to describe 74% of liquidations hitting longs while Trump threatens more Iran strikes and the Hormuz ceasefire disintegrates.
