Sharp drop in South Korean stocks may pressure crypto, warns BitMine's Tom Lee

South Korea's stock market experienced a significant decline, with the KOSPI falling over 6%, driven by a sell-off in semiconductor stocks amid fears of increased competition from China's ChangXin Memory Technologies. BitMine Chairman Tom Lee warned that this sharp drop could spill over into the cryptocurrency market, particularly affecting Ether (ETH), as margin calls in brokerage accounts might force investors to liquidate crypto holdings to cover losses. The sell-off triggered a temporary trading halt on KOSPI 200 futures due to rapid price drops. This situation highlights the interconnected risks between traditional equity markets and crypto assets, especially in South Korea where investors hold substantial crypto positions.

South Korea stock market rout and its potential impact on Ether provide context for Pluang's market data. As of Oct 13, 2026 14:21 WIB, 6 of 50 major cryptocurrencies on Pluang rose while 43 fell. Notable moves include AXS down 8.39% at Rp20.666 and EOS up 8.13% at Rp12.649.
