According to South Korean media reports, the margin requirement for leveraged chip ETFs in South Korea may be increased fivefold.

According to Hyperinsight monitoring, the whale starting with 0x0ad, which previously bet on a semiconductor rebound, has recently increased its long position in Micron Technology (MU) to 9,984.704 shares, an increase of approximately 96% from before, making it the largest MU long on Hyperliquid. However, the whale has no intention of chasing further gains; two take-profit sell orders have been fully placed above the cost line, with plans to exit at break-even. The whale currently holds around $9.949 million in MU longs with 3x leverage, at an average entry price of $1005.134. MU rebounded above $1000 intraday today before pulling back slightly, trading at $996.325. The position briefly broke even but now shows an unrealized loss of about $87,000 (-2.6%). Order data indicates the whale plans to liquidate its entire position in two batches above the cost line: a sell order for 4,984.704 shares at $1036, worth approximately $5.164 million; and a sell order for 5,000 shares at $1038.5, worth around $5.193 million. The two orders total 9,984.704 shares, roughly $10.357 million, exactly covering the entire MU long position. If fully executed, the address will exit at a profit above the cost line, generating an estimated gain of about $321,000 based on the order prices. On the long order side, another MU whale starting with 0x364, with a position size of over $1 million, has adopted a similar arrangement: its position is about $1.023 million, average entry price of $980.861, and has placed a take-profit order at $1039 covering its entire position. Both whales target the area before $1040 as the key exit point for this rebound.
