Korean Retail Investors Shift from Individual Stocks to Leveraged ETFs in September: Heavy Selling of Nvidia and SK Hynix
According to data from South Korea's securities information portal, between September 1 and 4, Korean individual investors significantly reduced their holdings in multiple U.S. semiconductor stocks while rotating into leveraged semiconductor ETFs. During this period, Korean retail investors net sold over $100 million worth of Micron, $68.61 million of SanDisk, $49.37 million of Marvell Technology, and $15.56 million of Nvidia. SK Hynix's ADR, which debuted on the NYSE in July, also saw net selling of $46.16 million during the same period, following cumulative net purchases of $811 million through the end of August.Conversely, Korean retail investors net purchased $431 million of SOXL (Direxion Daily Semiconductor Bull 3X Shares), which aims to deliver 3x the daily return of the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index.Market analysts suggest that this "selling individual stocks, buying the sector" approach may reflect Korean retail investors reducing single-chipmaker exposure risk while continuing to bet on upside in the broader semiconductor sector. After the sharp rally in semiconductor stocks, some investors may be taking profits at the individual stock level while maintaining or even expanding their overall semiconductor exposure through leveraged ETFs.

South Korea's Financial Services Commission Plans KRX-Centered Pilot for Tokenizing Listed Shares

Uniswap Founder Hayden: Correlated Trading Pairs Will Drive AMMs into Global Financial Markets
Odaily News Uniswap founder Hayden said on X that correlated trading pairs are emerging. The top five tokenized SPY trading pairs by volume are "bridge" pairs connecting other common base pairs, which then primarily link to highly correlated tokenized stocks. These markets are global, programmable, low-cost, and operate 24/7.Uniswap founder Hayden said on X:.I've been working at the frontier of DeFi for 9 years. It's a fascinating field with infinite depth and the potential to transform capital markets.I've always believed AMMs hold immense potential, but for the past decade, one question has persisted: Can this novel market structure truly become the core engine for all financial markets?After years of evolution and development, the path for AMMs to achieve global dominance is becoming increasingly clear. To explain this, we need to start in 1976.Tokenization Changes Market Makers.Index funds celebrated their 50th anniversary this month. When Jack Bogle launched the index fund in 1976, he hoped to raise $150 million but ultimately raised only $11.3 million. Competitors called it "Bogle's Folly," posting posters claiming index funds were un-American. They argued that a fund making no decisions couldn't possibly beat professionals paid to make decisions. Today, the majority of US fund assets are allocated to passive investment vehicles.I've been thinking about this recently because tokenization's "folly moment" is ending. The SEC has approved NASDAQ and the NYSE to trade tokenized stocks. DTCC, which handles virtually all US securities settlement, also conducted a live pilot of tokenized trades in July. Nearly all related activity is described the same way: treating tokenization as an infrastructure upgrade.The same markets, faster, cheaper, and always open. These statements are all true, but I believe the infrastructure upgrade framework obscures a larger change. Tokenization makes markets programmable, changing how markets exist, who makes markets, and what is traded.In 2018, I created Uniswap, an automated market maker protocol. Anyone can deposit two assets into a shared liquidity pool and earn fees from every trade, while prices adjust along a curve as users buy and sell. Uniswap has operated autonomously since its launch, processing over $4.6 trillion in cumulative volume and increasing DEX spot volume share from under 1% to over 20%.As AMMs like Uniswap continue to evolve, their liquidity has formed a pattern most financial markets haven't noticed yet: correlated trading pairs.The Easiest Place to Find Success.To succeed everywhere, you must first succeed somewhere. AMMs found product-market fit in long-tail markets because most assets previously couldn't attract professional market makers' attention. On Uniswap, anyone can create a market with a single transaction, and issuers and early supporters can become the first liquidity providers.Then came stablecoin pairs. Take USDC/USDT, for example. A good passive strategy can approach optimal l

SEC Chairman Paul Atkins stated that the approval of the DTCC pilot is just the starting point, and the SEC will consider innovation exemption mechanisms. (Cointelegraph)
