Surprisingly, the traditional stablecoins, mostly issued by fintechs, were missing from the speech. 

One would expect that the recent push for Won-based stablecoins to counter USDT and USDC dominance would earn them a feature in Hyun-Song’s speech. 

Well, Hyun-Song was a former head of monetary policy and advisor at the BIS (Bank for International Settlements), commonly called the bank for central banks. 

His former employer has always doubted the use of stablecoins, stressing their risks to the stability of financial markets. Whether he will adopt BIS’s strong stance against stablecoins remains to be seen. 

That said, interest in Won-stablecoin has surged with over trademarks. Supporters believe that the products could help solve the ‘Kimchi Premium,’ where crypto assets trade higher in South Korea than overseas. 

Still, critics argue the products would eventually accelerate capital outflows that regulators are trying to curb. 


Meanwhile, Won-based stablecoin market supply has hit $1.3 million, dominated by Frax Finance’s KWRQ. It’s worth noting that this is too small compared to the broader stablecoin market of over $320 billion.

However, South Korea is one of the corridors that dominates 60% of global stablecoin payments. Hence, it will be interesting to watch how the Bank of Korea’s regulation will shape this payment corridor.

Bitcoin rises above $78,000, Fear & Greed Index exits 'extreme fear' zone

Bitcoin climbed above $78,000 early Wednesday morning, with roughly 2% price appreciation across the broader crypto market.

Analysts cited short squeezes and strong ETF inflows as drivers of the rally.

The crypto Fear & Greed Index has risen to 33 from 8 at the beginning of April.

Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other major cryptocurrencies saw moderate gains early Wednesday, supported by strong exchange-traded fund inflows and easing geopolitical tensions.

According to The Block's crypto price page, bitcoin rose 2.2% in the past 24 hours to trade at $78,015 as of 4:30 a.m. on Wednesday. Ethereum rose 2.7% to $2,386 in the same period, and the broader crypto market was up 2.3%.

"Crypto's upside reflects a confluence of easing geopolitics, strong ETF inflows, and constructive positioning," said Zeus Research Analyst Dominick John. "As Bitcoin broke above $75K, short positions were liquidated, triggering a mechanical squeeze."

Spot bitcoin ETFs have reported three straight weeks of net inflows, drawing in around $1.8 billion worth of capital. Plus, Michael Saylor-led Strategy has recently purchased additional bitcoin, surpassing BlackRock to become the largest institutional bitcoin holder.

Earlier today, U.S. President Donald Trump announced that he will extend the ceasefire with Iran to allow time for negotiations between the two countries, easing concerns over the approaching ceasefire expiry. However, Iran reportedly responded critically, accusing the U.S. for continuing to block Iranian ports.

Meanwhile, K33 Research said that bitcoin is likely to maintain its upward momentum, with a high possibility of more short squeeze events in the near term.

"Funding rates moved further lower over the past week, while prices climbed to three-month highs.

On April 22, just 15 minutes before U.S. President  announced an extension of the ceasefire agreement with Iran, the market witnessed a massive $430 million short position on crude oil.
This wasn’t an isolated event.
A pattern is emerging:
📉 March 23 – ~$500M short placed minutes before delay of strikes on Iranian facilities
📉 April 7 – ~$950M short positioned hours before ceasefire announcement
📉 April 17 – ~$760M bet against oil just 20 minutes before Iran signaled reopening of the Strait of Hormuz
📉 April total – ~$2.1 billion in similar “pre-event” trades
The big question: how are these trades so precisely timed?
When massive positions consistently appear right before major geopolitical announcements, it raises serious concerns:
👉 Is non-public information leaking into the market?
👉 Are certain players exploiting informational advantages?
👉 Is regulatory oversight struggling to keep up?
Why this matters
Crude oil isn’t just another asset—it’s deeply tied to:
Global geopolitics
Inflation expectations
Broader financial market stability
If trust in fair market access erodes, the consequences go far beyond price swings.
Analysts are warning:
In a period of heightened geopolitical tension, repeated “perfectly timed” trades could signal:
⚠️ Potential information asymmetry
⚠️ Regulatory arbitrage
⚠️ Structural risks to market integrit
