South Korea's Kospi index, boosted by the AI boom, has dropped nearly 25% in four weeks, with its implied volatility doubling Bitcoin's. This surge in volatility reflects heavy losses among Korean retail traders using leverage, signaling increased risk in AI-fueled markets. Despite geopolitical pressures, Bitcoin remains less volatile than Kospi but still twice as risky as the S&P 500. Investors are watching upcoming U.S. regulatory hearings for clarity that could impact institutional crypto adoption.
