According to the Korea Herald, the Korea Exchange conducted an internal review on July 29 regarding the technical feasibility and system requirements for a temporary ban on short selling and narrowing the price limit (currently at 30%) to address the recent severe fluctuations in the stock market. Sources familiar with the matter stated that "only technical feasibility was confirmed," and it was not a prerequisite for implementation, but rather a screening process during the review of available emergency measures.Recently, the South Korean stock market has continued to plummet, causing increasing damage to individual investors. During a meeting of the National Assembly's Administrative Committee, several lawmakers urged authorities to consider a temporary ban on short selling and to restart the Securities Market Stabilization Fund. A national petition to suspend short selling garnered over 10,000 signatures within two days of being made public. However, the ban on short selling conflicts with South Korea's goal of being included in the MSCI developed market index; a previous 17-month short selling ban from November 2023 to March 2025 had led to MSCI downgrading South Korea's market accessibility rating. The exchange's officials stated that they have not received any related requests from the government and have not formally discussed a short selling ban.

In the context of macro events driving market volatility, Gate event contracts are becoming a focus tool for some investors participating in the FOMC trading cycle. This product revolves around the price direction of BTC and ETH in short cycles such as 5 minutes, 15 minutes, 1 hour, and 4 hours, allowing users to make market arrangements in advance based on their predictions of macro policy outcomes and market trends.Compared to traditional derivatives, event contracts adopt a probability pricing model, with each contract priced between 0.01 to 0.99 USDT, and a minimum participation threshold of 1.5 USDT. The product mechanism does not introduce leverage, does not involve margin calls or forced liquidations, and the user's maximum loss is limited to the principal paid at the time of purchase; if the directional judgment is correct, it will be settled at 1 USDT per contract upon expiration. Under key nodes such as macro policies, this model provides users with a trading method that has clear risk boundaries and a lower participation threshold.In addition, Gate event contracts have launched a "New User First Order Compensation" activity, opening a $20,000 prize pool. Eligible new users who complete their first transaction and incur a loss can receive compensation rewards according to the rules.As the FOMC decision and subsequent policy statements are about to be announced, market sentiment may undergo further changes, and Gate event contracts provide users with a new way to participate in short-cycle market trading.

The founder of the Liebit Mining Pool (B.TOP), Jiang Zhuoer, stated in a post that after this round of market trends, he will no longer short ETH and will instead short BTC. He will use WBETH as margin to short an equivalent amount of BTC spot.The reason is: MSTR can foresee that it will not increase its BTC holdings for a long time in the future; BitMine is still buying ETH; combined with the development of RWA and other factors, this bear market may repeat the last one, with BTC and ETH reaching their lowest points at different times. The last round's lowest point for ETH was on June 18, 2022, when ETH was $881.56 and BTC was $17,622, with an exchange rate of 0.05.

In this round, there is a possibility that ETH will reach a low of $1,505.68 on June 6, 2026, so he has decided to short BTC. BTC has already fallen below the rising channel, while ETH is still at the lower edge of the rising channel.
