SK Hynix’s US-listed ADRs are officially convertible with its South Korean shares as of today.

Trade.xyz released an announcement regarding the SK Hynix contract price pinning incident: At 07:01 on July 28, the marked price of SK Hynix tokens plummeted from $1,127.9 to $917.25, triggering abnormal forced liquidations of a large number of long positions. This price originated from an actual executed transaction captured by multiple independent data providers, with the external venue being a major pre-market in South Korea. Accordingly, Trade.xyz decided to cover all liquidation losses caused by this price anomaly on a one-time, discretionary basis. Today, market commentators joked: "Trade.xyz really bailed out all the longs, haha—refunded them at the pin price, and then 20 hours later the price slowly crept back toward that level." Meanwhile, South Korea’s KOSPI index once fell more than 12% today, and the KOSDAQ index dropped over 8%, triggering circuit breakers on both markets for the first time in history.
