Woofun AI reports that South Korea’s single-stock leverage ETFs have surpassed 10 trillion won in scale, rendering delisting measures practically difficult. Kim Yong-beom, head of the Blue House Policy Office, stated that forcing a delisting would cause significant market disruption. These products were introduced to attract overseas capital and meet investment needs, not due to policy errors.

However, structural risks remain, particularly regarding the deviation rate between ETF prices and underlying assets. To maintain leverage during volatility, these funds may engage in concentrated trading, increasing short-term selling pressure. Regulators and firms are discussing optimization strategies, such as adjusting trading windows or using derivatives, to mitigate market impact.
