A major Korean exchange announced that it will cease all services on New Year's Day next year, which means that over $20 billion in daily liquidity will instantly evaporate. Coincidentally, this timing falls right after the most active period for Korean traders following the halving cycle in history. Even more heartbreaking is that after the $3 billion withdrawal wave in November, 500,000 accounts are stuck in KYC verification, and another exchange's infrastructure can only handle up to 30% of the incoming traffic. The mismatch between liquidity vacuum and user migration timing could trigger a wave of market volatility.

Oh no, this timing is just too perfect, almost like saying "curse the traders"

This move by the Korean exchange is really bold. The $20 billion liquidity just evaporated instantly, and they shut down right around the halving cycle. Truly seeking self-destruction.

Damn, the timing is so tight, liquidity directly evaporated by 20 billion? The halving cycle is still messing around like this…

The Korean exchange's move is really incredible. They shut down right before the halving cycle, and the 20 billion in liquidity just evaporated—are they intentionally setting a trap for the market? Waiting for 500,000 users to complete KYC verification before migration, while another platform can only handle 30% of the traffic? This is a classic liquidity vacuum.

Whoa, $20 billion just gone like that? Korean traders are really getting screwed over this time. --- Hitting this mine during the halving cycle, probably going to trigger a bloodbath. --- KYC has blocked 500,000 accounts... Something's off with this pace; the liquidity vacuum is huge. --- It's another case of timing mismatch. Why are the exchanges so tacitly colluding to cause trouble? --- Wait, only 30% transfer capacity? Other exchanges simply can't handle this migration wave, definitely a warning of collapse. --- I just want to know who will suffer heavy losses in this chaos. --- Honestly, it's a nightmare for Korean traders—when liquidity evaporates, the price movement gets really ugly. --- The New Year's service suspension was just perfect timing, had to pick this moment.
