KOSPI slide after semiconductor rally raises question of retail shift to crypto

South Korea\'s KOSPI plunged 8.95 percent in a day and at one point fell 15 percent, triggering a circuit breaker. The drop raised questions about the durability of the recent rebound and its spillover into cryptocurrencies. The index has slipped below 6,800 after reaching 9,155 in June, with leverage raising the risk of further liquidations. Bitcoin also wobbled, and foreign selling and derivatives volatility remain in focus.

Berkshire Hathaway is lagging the S&P 500 so far in 2026, with its Class B shares down 1.8 percent while the index is up 10.7 percent, according to Cryptopolitan. Including dividends, the performance gap widens further, with the S&P 500 total return at 11.4 percent. The gap was largest on June 1 and narrowed somewhat after a June rebound, but the overall trend remained weak. Investors are also watching succession to Greg Abel.

Bitcoin value is decided by math, not news, with 21 million cap key

SkyBridge Capital founder Anthony Scaramucci rejected the view that Bitcoin price swings can be explained by short-term news. He said Bitcoin no longer needs marketing narratives and that its long-term value is determined by its mathematical structure. Recent drivers cited for the pullback include large liquidations of leveraged positions and forced selling by miners to cover operating costs. Scaramucci also reiterated that Bitcoin’s 21 million issuance cap matters in a rising global debt environment.
