Bank of Korea holds benchmark interest rate at 3%, as expected

The hold itself is the least interesting part — it was priced in. What matters for crypto and RWA markets is that Korean won liquidity conditions stay where they are, so any shift in domestic risk appetite will have to come from somewhere other than rate policy. The announcement offered no guidance, which leaves the forward path opaque and makes the next policy communication the real signal. Whether the Bank of Korea eventually moves, and how Korean participants rotate into digital assets while rates sit at this level, is the open question worth tracking.
