Kospi Rises 2.66%, Bitcoin Recovers to $78,000 Amid ETF Inflows

Kospi rose 2.66% on Friday as the market rebounded from U.S. gains and semiconductor stocks strengthened, with foreign investors returning to net buying after eight sessions. Bitcoin recovered to $78,000 following the Federal Reserve's interest rate shock, while U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs saw $159.5 million in net inflows the previous day, ending two consecutive days of outflows. Domestic focus centered on foreign capital flows and digital asset tax preparations as the Financial Supervisory Service reported foreign investors' activity in August.
