Korean Investors Propping Up ETH Treasury Firms?
In an X post, Mow related the current state of the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization to South Korea.
He claimed that Korean retail investors, particularly the seohak gaemie, a term used for those primarily investing in overseas markets like the U.S., are the main force keeping ETH at its current levels.
“There’s around $6 billion (dollars, not KRW) of Korean retail capital propping up the Ethereum treasury companies,” Mow, CEO of Bitcoin technology company JAN3, stated.
