South Korea's KOSPI, Japan's Nikkei 225 and Taiwan's TAIEX fell as Asian stock markets tumbled. Together, the three benchmarks erased more than $950 billion in combined market value.
Within that total, the KOSPI fell 10.8%. The move takes the Korean index's decline to 41% over the past 37 days. Japan's Nikkei 225 and Taiwan's TAIEX also posted sharp losses.
Behind the moves, Coinpedia points to three forces driving the selloff. The first is concern over the Federal Reserve's interest rate decision. The second is fear surrounding China's semiconductor industry, and the third is continued weakness in AI-related stocks.
