After the South Korean financial supervisory authority officially implemented new regulations to raise the single-standard leverage and reverse ETF investment threshold, the scale of related transactions shrank sharply. The basic deposit was raised from 10 million won to 30 million won in just two days, and the transaction amount shrunk to one-tenth before the new regulations were implemented. A large number of individual investors concentrated on redeeming profits, and the overheated market quickly cooled down. According to data from the Korea Exchange on August 3, the total transaction volume of 16 single-target leveraged/inverse ETFs with Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix as underlying assets is about 1.2 trillion won. However, the transaction volume reached 12.4 trillion won on the last trading day before the margin was raised. The current scale is only one-tenth of what it was then; even compared to the first trading day of implementation of the new regulations, it has shrunk by more than half. On the same day, none of the products traded more than 1 trillion won.
