The South Korean won dropped to a two-year low of 1,443.40 per USD when President Yoon announced martial law. Analysts from MarketWatch say the price levels have dropped further as the US currency strengthens.
In mid-2024, KRW had surpassed the US dollar to become the most traded currency globally. According to Kaiko, South Korea’s won surpassed the US dollar as the most traded currency against crypto in the first quarter of 2024.
KRW accounted for $456 billion in cumulative trade volume on centralized crypto exchanges during this period, edging out the USD, which recorded $455 billion. At the end of April, KRW was trading at 1,465.00 per dollar.
Analysts are attributing KRW’s struggles to lingering political instability and a cautious outlook among global investors. However, with China’s recent announcement of a “moderately loose” monetary policy for 2024, there’s growing optimism that the currency won’t drop further, given China’s role as South Korea’s largest trading partner.
South Korean crypto exchanges are showing signs of stabilization following the flash crash triggered by political turmoil last week. This is despite the initial market panic sparked by President Yoon’s martial law announcement.
Bitcoin (BTC) on local exchanges, particularly UpBit, has bounced back from a sharp 30% drop during the height of the crisis when BTC briefly plunged to 89 million Korean won. As of the time of writing, BTC has stabilized near the 1,390,000 KRW range, while XRP is changing hands around the 3,000 KRW level, per Coinmarketcap data.
KRW has demonstrated significant volatility against Bitcoin over the past six months. Bitcoin’s KRW trading value is nearing a six-month high, up approximately 12% from its lowest point earlier this year.
Year-to-date, Bitcoin has seen a positive shift against the won, with a price increase of roughly 10% compared to the crypto’s 123%.
