According to Cointelegraph, Bitcoin remained close to $75,000 while South Korea announced a temporary halt to KOSPI trading following an 8% decline driven by growing concerns over potential AI regulation in the United States. The trading suspension was implemented in response to market volatility linked to emerging policy discussions around artificial intelligence in the U.S., which extended concerns into the Asian market. Bitcoin showed consolidation amid the broader market reaction. The KOSPI halt was disclosed by South Korean authorities as part of a measured response to stabilize trading amid investor uncertainty. No further details on duration or conditions of the halt were provided in the report. Bitcoin’s level near $75,000 was noted at the time of the announcement. The connection between U.S. AI regulatory developments and the decision to pause KOSPI trading was cited as a key factor behind the market action.
