The South Korean exchange will assess the impact of high-frequency transactions

ON 21 JULY, AS THE SOUTH KOREAN MARKET BECAME MORE VOLATILE, THE KOREA EXCHANGE (KRX) WAS BIDDING FOR A RESEARCH PROJECT AIMED AT ANALYSING THE IMPACT OF THE SURGE IN HIGH-FREQUENCY (HFT) TRANSACTIONS ON THE MARKET AND EXPLORING REGULATORY DIRECTIONS. ACCORDING TO 20 DAYS DISCLOSED BY THE KOREA EXCHANGE, AMONG OTHERS, THE DEADLINE FOR THE APPLICATION FOR TENDER FOR THE PROJECT WAS 27 AND THE STUDY WAS SCHEDULED TO BE COMPLETED LATER THIS YEAR. HF TRANSACTIONS ARE BILLED AT VERY HIGH SPEED USING COMPUTER ALGORITHMS. UNLIKE ROUTINE TRANSACTIONS THAT AUTOMATICALLY EXECUTE LARGE ORDERS UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS, HF TRANSACTIONS DO NOT REQUIRE MANUAL INTERVENTION AND USE A VERY SHORT TIME DIFFERENCE OF LESS THAN ONE SECOND TO PERFORM HF ORDERS. FOREIGN INSTITUTIONAL INVESTORS ARE PARTICULARLY HIGH IN THIS MODE OF DEALING, MAINLY FOR ARBITRAGE TO CAPTURE INSTANT PRICE DIFFERENCES. INSTITUTIONALLY, HIGH-FREQUENCY TRANSACTIONS ARE DIFFICULT TO PROFIT FROM WHEN THE TAX RATE FOR SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS IS HIGHER, BUT THEIR PROFITABILITY INCREASES WITH LOWER RATES. CONCERNS ABOUT THE POTENTIAL DISRUPTION OF MARKETS DUE TO THE SURGE IN HIGH-FREQUENCY TRANSACTIONS HAVE BEEN RAISED SINCE THE 2019 BOND EXCHANGE RATE WAS LOWERED. THROUGH THIS STUDY, THE KOREA EXCHANGE PLANS TO ANALYSE MARKET IMPACTS AND BUILD A REGULATORY FRAMEWORK ON THIS BASIS. AT PRESENT, THE REPUBLIC OF KOREA HAS IMPLEMENTED RISK CONTROL MEASURES, INCLUDING THE HIGH-SPEED ALGORITHM DEALER REGISTRATION SYSTEM INTRODUCED IN 2023 AND THE “MELTING MECHANISM” (I.E., BULK ORDER CANCELLATION SYSTEM)。

ANALYST: DOG CURRENCY PRICE CONCERNS ABOUT POTENTIAL BREAKTHROUGHS, ALTHOUGH ETF INFLOWS SLOWED

Despite a slowdown in the flow of funds to DOGE ETF, the price of dog coins remains a concern. The latest data show a net daily inflow of US$ 0 on 17 July for DOGE ETF, but the cumulative net inflow remained at US$ 11.77 million, indicating that early investors ' funds remained. Analysts believe that the price of dogs is likely to rise in a new round after a critical price has broken. According to the technical analyst, Javon Marks, the price of the dog currency is going through a short transcretion period, which may open up more room for increase if the neck line is crossed by between 0.45 and $0.50. The market analyst Namtoshi Dogemoto also indicated that the doggy coin was developing a double base, and that the second low point was associated with a higher volume of transactions, which was often perceived by technology traders as a positive signal. The current market concerns about the return of funds to the ETF market and whether, in the absence of new financial support, the price of dogs will continue to rise。

USSEC SUED $22 MILLION FOR A SECRET MINING SCAM INVOLVING OVER 380 INVESTORS

On 21 July, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) announced a lawsuit against Zan Shaikh, a resident of Florida, and his company Mining Automatic, alleging that they had collected approximately $22 million from more than 380 investors through a falsely encrypted mining investment plan and suspected of misappropriation of investors ' funds. The SEC noted that between June 2023 and May 2025, the defendant promised that investors could secure monthly revenues through the encryption of mines, but that only about 13 per cent of the collection funds were actually spent on so-called mining operations, with the remainder being used mainly for marketing, attracting new investors and paying for personal and other unrelated business expenses. SEC claims that the defendant raised funds at least $20 million more than the amount returned to investors. The SEC has charged him with alleged violations of anti-fraud and securities issuance provisions of the Securities Act 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act 1934. The parties have agreed to accept the permanent injunction upon approval by the court, and the subsequent return of the illegal proceeds, interest and the amount of the civil fine will be determined by the court。
