On the evening of December 3, South Korean President Yoon Seok-yeol suddenly declared martial law, causing Upbit, a mainstream cryptocurrency trading platform in South Korea, to collapse instantly. Many cryptocurrencies fell particularly badly, such as BTC, which fell below $70,000, and DOGE, which directly crashed by more than 50%. Those "zombie coins" such as XRP, HBAR, and XLM, which have risen sharply recently, also retreated sharply, which is simply a reappearance of the "regional 312". The collapse of Upbit also affected the entire crypto market.
However, this huge negative premium has brought an opportunity to arbitrage traders, and many traders with Korean KYC have rushed into the market. But I heard that Upbit’s Korean main site is down, but fortunately users can continue to arbitrage through portals in other regions such as Indonesia. Upbit officials also said that it was because of the large trading volume that interrupted the transaction.
