According to PANews, a heated debate has erupted among South Korean presidential candidates over stablecoin policies. On May 8, Lee Jae-myung, the candidate from the main opposition Democratic Party, advocated for the swift establishment of a Korean won stablecoin market, warning of potential 'national wealth outflow' if not addressed. This proposal faced strong opposition from Lee Jun-seok, the candidate from the Reform Party, who cited the 2022 Terra collapse as a cautionary example, highlighting the disastrous consequences of algorithmic stablecoins like KRT lacking real asset backing.
Supporters of Lee Jae-myung, including former lawmaker Kim Byung-wook, countered by stating that global regulatory bodies have clearly distinguished between algorithmic stablecoins and compliant stablecoins backed 1:1 by cash or government bonds. They argue that a Korean won stablecoin could reduce cross-border remittance costs. Industry insiders note that this marks the first public technical debate on crypto assets within South Korean politics, with the election outcome potentially shaping the country's crypto regulatory direction. The election is scheduled for June 3.#SouthKorea #PresidentialCandidates #Stablecoin #CryptoPolicy #LeeJaeMyung #LeeJunSeok #Election2023 #CryptoRegulation #Blockchain #Finance #LUNA

#Bitcoin #TradingVolume #BullishTrend #CryptoQuant #BTC #LUNA #CryptoMarket
According to BlockBeats, CryptoQuant analyst Axel has observed a significant decrease in the weekly trading volume of the BTC/USD pair on centralized exchanges following the LUNA collapse. The volume has dropped from a peak of 2.9 million in July 2022 to 426,000 in the most recent trading session. This reduction in available supply on trading platforms could potentially exert upward pressure on Bitcoin prices, suggesting a long-term bullish signal.#Bitcoin #TradingVolume #BullishTrend #CryptoQuant #BTC #LUNA #CryptoMarket

According to PANews, the Singapore High Court has dismissed a claim by Do Kwon, co-founder of the defunct blockchain company Terraform Labs, for a refund of approximately 50% of the purchase price for a penthouse on Orchard Road.
Do Kwon had set his sights on a 38.8 million SGD penthouse at Sculptura Ardmore five months before the collapse of his cryptocurrencies TerraUSD and Luna in 2022. The property in question was a 7,600-square-foot, four-bedroom duplex on the 19th floor, one of only three penthouses in the development. Kwon paid around 19.4 million SGD in option fees and subsequent payments, nearly half of the purchase price, but the transaction was not completed. The penthouse was eventually resold for 34.5 million SGD.
Despite claims that the developer had forfeited Kwon's payments, Kwon argued that the forfeiture was invalid and filed a lawsuit through his wife in the Singapore High Court. However, his application was rejected on July 26.#DoKwon #TerraformLabs #TerraUSD #Luna #OrchardRoad #SculpturaArdmore #SingaporeHighCourt #Refund #Forfeiture #Lawsuit #Crypto #Cryptocurrency #Singapore #LUNA

🚀 South Korean Retail Investors Shift to High-Risk Assets Amid Housing Market Challenges
#SouthKorea #retailinvestors #highriskassets #housingmarket #margins #USChinaTariff #cryptocurrency #altcoins #ETFs #leverage #financialrisks #marketvolatility #TerraUSD #LUNA #KoreanWon
According to PANews, South Korean retail investors, often referred to as 'ants,' are increasingly turning to high-risk assets in pursuit of funds for home purchases. Over the past five years, the scale of margin trading has tripled, with retail investors holding up to 40% of positions in U.S.-based leveraged and inverse ETFs. Local exchanges report that altcoin transactions account for over 80% of trading activity. This shift comes in the wake of recent U.S.-China tariff tensions, which have negatively impacted the cryptocurrency market.
Following the government's tightening of mortgage and rental regulations, approximately 4 trillion Korean won has flowed out of banks. Regulatory authorities have issued warnings about the risks associated with leverage and market volatility. The collapse of TerraUSD and LUNA previously resulted in significant personal financial losses, highlighting the potential dangers of such investments.#SouthKorea #retailinvestors #highriskassets #housingmarket #margins #USChinaTariff #cryptocurrency #altcoins #ETFs #leverage #financialrisks #marketvolatility #TerraUSD #LUNA #KoreanWon

According to Odaily, the price of LUNA has risen to 0.1420 USDT, marking a 24-hour increase of over 35%. This surge is reportedly influenced by the impending sentencing of Terraform Labs co-founder Do Kwon.
Do Kwon is scheduled to be sentenced this Thursday in New York, having previously pleaded guilty to two felony charges: wire fraud and conspiracy to commit fraud. Ahead of the sentencing, U.S. Federal Judge Paul Engelmayer has requested that both the prosecution and defense clarify the charges Kwon faces in South Korea, as well as the potential maximum and minimum sentences, to assess the international judicial risks involved.#LUNA #TerraformLabs #DoKwon #cryptocurrency #wirefraud #fraud #sentencing #USlaw #blockchain

According to ChainCatcher, Terraform Labs co-founder Do Kwon, who was sentenced to 15 years in prison by a U.S. federal court in Manhattan for orchestrating the $40 billion TerraUSD collapse, may face a second trial in South Korea. Reports indicate that South Korean prosecutors are seeking a sentence exceeding 30 years for Kwon, citing violations of capital market laws. The 34-year-old South Korean national may apply for transfer to South Korea after serving half of his sentence, where approximately 200,000 Korean investors suffered losses amounting to around 300 billion won ($204 million).
U.S. District Judge Paul Engelmayer, during last week's sentencing, remarked on the severity of the fraud, stating, "In the history of federal prosecutions, few fraud cases have caused such significant damage." Do Kwon has admitted to intentionally participating in a scheme to defraud Terraform Labs cryptocurrency buyers between 2018 and 2022, which led to the collapse of the TerraUSD stablecoin and Luna token in May 2022, triggering a ripple effect in the cryptocurrency market.#DoKwon #TerraformLabs #TerraUSD #LunaToken #cryptocurrency #fraud #capitalmarketlaws #SouthKorea #USTcollapse #financialcrimes #sentencing #cryptoinvestors #ManhattanCourt #UStrial #Koreaninvestors #LUNA

A former venture capital investor highlights that although some crypto venture capitalists, particularly in Asia and among lower-tier Western funds, have halted or paused investments following the 2022 Luna collapse, this does not signify the demise of the entire crypto VC sector. According to NS3.AI, the industry is experiencing a consolidation phase, with more established firms continuing to persist and adapt. Despite these setbacks, crypto venture capital remains a crucial force in driving innovation and growth within the blockchain ecosystem.#CryptoVentureCapital #MarketChallenges #LunaCollapse #CryptoVC #BlockchainInnovation #VentureCapital #NS3AI #IndustryConsolidation #LUNA
🚀 Long-Term Bitcoin Holders Face Increased Pressure Amid Market Trends
#Bitcoin #LongTermHolders #MarketTrends #LTHRPRL #LTHSOPR #CryptoSentiment #BearMarket #EA-LTHRL #CryptoPanic #MarketPsychology #BitcoinPrice #BTC #LUNA
Crypto KOL Murphy posted on X that the Long-Term Holder Realized Profit/Loss Ratio (LTH-RPRL) for Bitcoin has fallen below 1 for the first time in this cycle, a situation last observed on May 9, 2022. Additionally, the Long-Term Holder Spent Output Profit Ratio (LTH-SOPR) is also below 1, indicating that long-term holders are not only experiencing losses but are also selling at a loss.
For those who have not yet sold, each fluctuation in Bitcoin's price presents a growing psychological challenge, as the sensitivity of long-term holders to price changes has reached levels similar to those on November 29, 2014, November 3, 2018, and May 25, 2022. Historically, these points have been followed by events that exacerbated panic among long-term holders, marking the final phase of a bear market.
Currently, the market sentiment is characterized by ignoring positive news and amplifying negative developments. Bitcoin appears to be increasingly desensitized to macroeconomic benefits, seemingly influenced by a mysterious force. This force is not controlled by any individual, institution, or entity but rather reflects a consensus issue among the majority of market participants.
Historically, when the LTH-RPRL drops below 1, the probability of Bitcoin entering a prolonged bear market increases significantly. This phase is not defined by the depth of price drops but by the duration of the downturn.
The final phase of a bear market is marked by extreme panic among long-term holders. The key indicator for this is the Entity-Adjusted Long-Term Holder Realized Loss (EA-LTH RL). The larger the scale, the greater the panic among long-term holders. On February 5, when Bitcoin fell to $60,000, the EA-LTH RL reached $680 million, surpassing the panic levels triggered by the LUNA crash in the previous bear market.
Whether this marks the final phase of the bear market remains uncertain. However, if Bitcoin prices drop further and the EA-LTH RL decreases, it could signal the end. If not, as long as the LTH-RPRL remains below 1, opportunities will persist.#Bitcoin #LongTermHolders #MarketTrends #LTHRPRL #LTHSOPR #CryptoSentiment #BearMarket #EA-LTHRL #CryptoPanic #MarketPsychology #BitcoinPrice #BTC #LUNA
