As Ethereum (Eth) continuously reaches its all -time high (Ath), some industry leaders believe that the second largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization is not fully benefited from organic demand. Instead, it is being “props up” by Korean investors to create a quick deer.
Is the Etharium being organized by Korean investors?
In an x Post Earlier today, Crypto Entrepreneur Samson Mav made some interesting observation on the current value trajectory of ETH. Crypto’s executive blamed the current height of Eth for Korean retail investors.
In particular, the Mow said that about $ 6 billion Korean retail capital is supporting the price of the atherium. The Mow blamed the Ethi effects, who are allegedly traveling to South Korea for marketing digital assets to retail investors.

For bin call, Kimchi refers to a premium price difference where the global markets trade cryptocurrency at high prices at South Korean exchanges than in the global markets. This premium arises from strong local demand, limited capital flows and regulatory obstacles outside Korea that prevent easy arbitration between Korean and international exchange.
