According to PANews, South Korea experienced a significant increase in cryptocurrency trading volume following the spread of false information. The report, initially covered by the Daily Economic News, indicated that U.S. President Donald Trump was allegedly considering suspending tariff measures, which led to a 9% rise in mainstream cryptocurrency prices.
Data from CoinGecko revealed that on April 7, the 24-hour trading volume across South Korea's top five cryptocurrency exchanges reached 6.78 billion won (approximately $4.58 million). This marked the highest level since March 4 and represented a 368% increase from the 1.45 billion won (approximately $980,000) recorded on April 5.
