South Korean investors are taking out record loans to buy stocks right now 🇰🇷
Margin loans hit ~$26 billion—double since the start of 2025. But as a share of Korea's free float (stocks available for public trading), it's down to ~0.8%, the lowest since the 2020 pandemic.
Crazy stat:
The 2x leveraged memory ETF ($RAM) saw about $380 million in notional volume on its first day Wednesday. That's the biggest first-day ever for any US-listed leveraged or inverse ETF.
It tracks $DRAM and aims to double its daily moves.
Beats the old record fr
