Korea Exchange to ease trading rules to make market alert stocks easier to buy

The Korea Exchange has signalled plans to ease trading rules by exempting certain market alert-designated stocks on the KOSPI, KOSDAQ and KONEX from a requirement to collect 100 percent cash margin on buy orders. The exchange said it aims to rationalise regulations in line with global standards amid criticism from foreign, retail and institutional investors. It also plans to delete a related rule in KOSDAQ regulations and seek opinions through April 30.

Digital asset derivatives need institutionalisation to curb capital outflows and boost investor protection

Han Seo-hee (한서희), a lawyer at Lee & Ko, said a policy symposium in Seoul outlined the need for a digital asset derivatives market, overseas regulatory cases and directions for institutionalisation. She said derivatives can support price discovery, hedging and market efficiency and may be a precondition for institutional participation. She warned that without a domestic regulated market, capital outflows could grow as Korea-related products trade overseas.
