What happened
South Korea's regulator is urging crypto exchanges to increase cold storage after the Binance hack. Exchanges are already required to hold at least 80% of customer crypto in cold wallets.
Why it matters
The broad Indian market has little direct exposure to this South Korean measure. Any effect could come through weaker crypto sentiment and a modest shift in risk appetite.
Global impact
No reaction in world markets is reported. Exchange security concerns can spread across crypto markets, but any spillover to broader markets is usually limited unless it triggers wider risk aversion.
