South Korea Delays Single Stock Weekly Options Plan Covering SK hynix and Samsung Electronics

BlockBeats News, June 24th. South Korea has postponed the launch of a single-stock weekly option plan scheduled for June 29th, which covers stocks such as SK Hynix and Samsung Electronics.

A single-stock weekly option is an option product with a single stock as the underlying asset and a weekly expiration, which helps enhance market trading flexibility and risk management efficiency.

This move once again indicates regulatory concerns about the market following recent stock market volatility. A representative from the Korea Exchange stated that no decision has been made yet. Previously, the South Korean financial regulator expressed regret over the launch of single-stock leveraged ETFs last month and warned that their negative side effects have been exacerbated.
