Hello, Asia. Here is what is news on the markets:
Welcome to the morning briefing in Asia, a daily summary of the best stories during the hours and an overview of market movements and analyzes. For a detailed overview of the American markets, see the Americas of the Coindesk Crypto Daybook.
South Korea has been known for a long time for its disproportionate influence on the markets of Altcoin, from the XRP Mania which led a rally of 400% last year to the current obsession for a token which is proudly qualified.
The unnecessary $ phenomenon has links with South Korean Kols, Bradley Park, an analyst based in Seoul at DNTV Research, told Coindesk in an interview.
At the center of everything is Yeomyung, a supplier of Korean and liquidity Kol who have grown unnecessary early, held by a withdrawal of 50%, and is now sitting on serious paper gains.
“He made great profits during the race of the Trump play, and with useless, he also won any [providing liquidity] At first and is now held, “said Park at Coindesk.” They all wait for a CEX list, because without it, there is no real way to leave. “”
Park followed the activity of the Yeomyung portfolio and noted that his early conviction had inspired the trade in copies among Korean retail investors. Even portfolios linked to initiates on Solana Jupiter
hold. The rise of the useless reflects a broader evolution of the behavior of the Korean market.
“I really think that Korean users on this market are no longer liquidating,” he said. “They are starting to understand the market and evolve towards real world players.”
Another character in this story is BonkA first promoter of Bonk, who reappeared to tweet with enthusiasm about the useless after the price rebounded, although some Korean traders, including Park, questioned his sincerity.
“Bonk Guy was the first at Shill Letsbonk,” said Park. “But after the price collapsed, it has become silent. Now that useless rebounds, it suddenly shows interest again.”
Park underlined the rise of hyperliquid, of Kaia, and now the same so So Solana as unnecessary as proof that Korea is no longer a secondary market.
While the XRP rally was supported by legal clarity in the United States and stories about the deregulation of the Trump era, useless is less like chaos for chaos and more like a reflection of the place where attention and exhaustion take place on the market today, said Park.
Without a roadmap, without utility and unpretentious to build something bigger, he draws from a sort of memetical disillusionment: a collective shoulders of traditional cryptography promises and an ironic bet on nothingness which, paradoxically, seems to be more honest than many tokens pretending to change the world.
Trump approves the act genius
President Donald Trump approved the Act on Tuesday in a social position after his bipartite adoption in the Senate, calling a major step towards American leadership in the digital asset sector.
Trump urged the House of Representatives to adopt the “Lightning Fast” bill and without amendments, declaring that he should be sent to his office with “no delays, no supplements”.
The message reports a solid executive support for the national guide and establishment of national innovation for the Stablescoins (engineering) law, which introduces reserve and compliance requirements for sustained stabbing issuers of a dollar and marks the first large piece of cryptographic legislation to erase the Senate.
Trump has formulated legislation as a key to allowing “massive investments” and “great innovation”, positioning the United States as a world leader in digital assets.
While the bill adopted the Senate with important bipartisan support, its fate in the House remains uncertain.
Democratic legislators weigh potential changes, including stricter surveillance for tokens issued abroad and the limitations of potential transmitters.
However, the bill is not without its criticism. In a recent editorial by Coindesk, the finance professor of the University of Georgetown, James J. Angel, argues that the law on engineering is defective legislation due to the fragmented surveillance of 55 regulators, redundant processes, the exclusion of stalls carrying ineffective interests and regions.
