Korea Investment & Securities and OKX Ventures each invested 80 billion won to acquire a 19.6% stake in Coinone

According to CoinDesk, South Korea's major brokerage firm Korea Investment & Securities (KIS) and the investment institution OKX Ventures under the cryptocurrency exchange OKX officially signed an agreement on May 29, with both parties investing 80 billion won (approximately 53 million USD) each to acquire 19.6% of the shares of the South Korean cryptocurrency exchange Coinone (a total of 39.2%). This transaction is still pending approval from regulatory authorities.It is reported that the total transaction amount of 160 billion won will be conducted through a combination of purchasing existing shares and subscribing to new shares. After the transaction is completed, Coinone's founder and CEO Cha Myunghun will hold 27.8% of the shares, continuing to maintain the status of the largest shareholder and retaining management control; Com2uS Holdings and its affiliates will hold 25%; Korea Investment & Securities and OKX Ventures will jointly become the third-largest shareholders.Korea Investment & Securities stated that it will rely on this equity cooperation to promote the issuance and distribution of tokenized securities (STO), expand corporate virtual asset investment clients, and develop digital asset businesses such as bulk brokerage. In addition, recently, as South Korean regulatory authorities hinted at relaxing the principle of financial asset separation, several traditional financial giants in South Korea, including Samsung Securities and Hana Bank, have been accelerating their efforts to acquire shares in virtual asset exchanges.

Santiment: The Bitcoin long-short ratio surged to 2.23, reaching a new high for the year, which may indicate a short-term correction

The crypto sentiment platform Santiment published an analysis stating that the ratio of positive to negative comments about Ethereum has shifted from a strong FOMO sentiment in late April to a clear FUD sentiment now. Harvard University completely liquidated its $87 million Ethereum ETF one quarter after buying in; researchers from the Ethereum Foundation announced their resignations; and David Hoffman publicly stated his exit from the Ethereum project. The Santiment team interprets this trend as a mildly bullish signal, similar to the significant rise that followed the mid-2023 market sentiment low.Despite the panic sentiment, the number of non-bearish wallets for Ethereum remains as high as 192.92 million, more than three times Bitcoin's approximately 59 million. The activity in DeFi and staking trading surged at the beginning of the year and has since normalized, but the creation of new wallets continues to maintain a healthy growth rate. Fundamental data such as holders and activity do not support the claim that "the Ethereum network is dying." Additionally, the long-to-short ratio for Bitcoin has reached 2.23, the highest level since 2026. Previously, the highest daily long-to-short ratios often resulted in short-term price corrections, while extremely low short ratios indicate a local bottom. The current optimism stands in stark contrast to the outflow of short funds from ETFs, thus caution is warranted.
