BitMine's Tom Lee warned that a slump in South Korea's KOSPI index could spill over into crypto markets. Korea's exchange briefly paused program selling for five minutes, the first such sidecar in nearly two months, after Samsung and SK Hynix fell 5% and 6%. Traders may watch Korean equity weakness as a risk-off signal that could pressure crypto sentiment, though the direct market impact remains speculative.
