Nomura Securities' analyst team led by Cindy Park says South Korea's KOSPI index appears to be in an oversold state currently. In a research report, the analysts noted that global stock markets are weighed down by rising interest rates, high oil prices and other risk factors, with South Korea's stock market falling more sharply than other major global markets. The index has dropped 18% since August and is now hovering around 5,400 points. Nomura set the three-month target range for South Korea's KOSPI index at 7,500 to 8,000 points, reflecting macroeconomic and artificial intelligence-related risks, while keeping its long-term target of 10,000 points unchanged. The analysts also stated that AI investment, expanded corporate share buybacks, and market reform measures aimed at boosting corporate value could act as catalysts to drive gains in South Korea's stock market.

According to official announcements, Solana-based on-chain lending protocol Loopscale has announced that its platform has restored priority loan functions, and all loans now allow additional collateral operations. For loans not funded by the USDC Genesis Vault, borrowers can repay in full to retrieve their collateral. However, collateral withdrawal functions for loans linked to the USDC Genesis Vault remain temporarily disabled, while vault withdrawals and other protocol functions continue to be restricted. The team is collaborating with partners on security recovery efforts. Loopscale stated it has identified and contained two attack vectors exploited by attackers in this incident. First, attackers leveraged an incorrect asset pricing parameter configuration, causing collateral deposited in the SOL Genesis Vault to be misvalued as another asset, enabling them to secure an under-collateralized loan of approximately $412,000. Next, attackers used an atomic transaction combination to sell a loan with an abnormally high interest rate to the USDC Genesis Vault, artificially inflating its net asset value (NAV) and siphoning around $521,000 in redemption funds. This operation was intercepted by the system within 30 seconds of the transaction being generated. Loopscale emphasized that user deposits will not suffer losses as a result of this incident.

According to TradingBeats monitoring, from the opening of U.S. stock markets last night to noon today, on Hyperliquid’s HIP-3 individual stock, index, and ETF contracts, at least 83 addresses reduced or liquidated 121 million-dollar-level long positions at a loss, with total losses of approximately $23.65 million. Among these, at least 6 addresses saw individual account cumulative losses exceeding $1 million. This round of losses was mainly concentrated in individual stocks, while indices and ETFs accounted for more exit trades. S&P 500, Nasdaq 100, and their related indices and ETFs together recorded 51 loss-making position reductions, making up about 42.1% of all exited positions, with total losses of around $3.26 million, accounting for 13.8% of the total losses. Specifically, the S&P 500 mapped contract had 19 loss-making reductions, and the Nasdaq 100 had 15, totaling 34 trades, which is about 28% of all exited positions. For individual stocks, SK Hynix (its Korean stock SKHX and ADR contract SKHY) saw concentrated position reductions, while SanDisk (SNDK) recorded huge losses from a single asset. SK Hynix’s SKHX and SKHY contracts together had 28 loss-making long position reductions, totaling around $3.62 million in losses, making it the individual stock combination with the most addresses and positions involved. SanDisk (SNDK) only had 7 loss-making reductions, but its cumulative losses reached approximately $8.42 million, accounting for 35.6% of all losses, making it the single largest loss source in this round. Nebius, Meta, and Micron also saw large-scale loss exits, with losses of around $2.65 million, $2.17 million, and $1.76 million respectively. Notably, the loss size of SanDisk’s 7 positions already exceeded the total losses from all 51 exited positions of indices and ETFs. This large-scale long position retreat was mainly concentrated in individual stocks, especially those in the previously heavily held semiconductor and AI industry chains.
