South Korea will ban new listings of single-stock leveraged ETFs to limit market volatility, the Financial Services Commission said. Demand for these leveraged products tied to major companies like Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix has surged, and regulators linked the activity to sharper price fluctuations. The suspension will stay until market conditions stabilize. Starting August 5, authorities will also raise the minimum investment requirement for leveraged ETFs from 10 million won to 30 million won, aiming to cool retail enthusiasm and reduce trading-driven swings.
