South Korea Tightens Single-Stock Leveraged ETF Rules, Raises Minimum Deposit to 30 Million Won on July 16

According to News1, South Korea's financial authorities tightened requirements for single-stock leveraged ETF trading on July 16, raising the minimum cash deposit requirement from 10 million won to 30 million won. Education requirements were also extended from 2 hours to 3 hours, with scores below 60 requiring retesting. The minimum trade unit increased from 1 to 20 shares, effectively raising per-transaction prices. Industry observers noted the measures may limit new entrants but questioned their effectiveness in reducing overall market volatility, given single-stock leveraged products have reached 10 trillion won in market capitalization with retail investors comprising over 90% of participants.
