Risk appetite in South Korea is exploding:
Margin loans outstanding on Korean stocks are up to a record $24.3 billion.
Since the start of 2025, margin debt has surged +140% and is up +32% since the beginning of this year alone.
To put this into perspective, the value of leveraged bets on Korean stocks was ~$5.0 billion in 2020.
This also likely understates the real scale, given that many loans taken out to buy stocks are labeled under other categories.
Meanwhile, domestic investors have poured ~$25.3 billion into South Korean shares year-to-date.
Retail investors in South Korea are aggressively rushing into stocks.
