Over the weekend, regulators clamped down on foreign investors opening up South Korean exchange accounts &#8212; now, one must be a citizen of South Korea in order to trade on an exchange located in South Korea.<\/p>\n<p>This will create an even greater variance to the coin prices seen in South Korea. When there are limited to no arbitrage opportunities, the supply and demand economics of individual markets can get completely out of control. For example, currently the price of <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/coins\/ethereum\/\">Ethereum<\/a> on western exchanges is around $1080, while on South Korean exchanges the price is $1230, a 13% premium.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_25780\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-25780\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-25780\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/south-korean-crypto.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"201\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/south-korean-crypto.jpg 600w, https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/south-korean-crypto-300x201.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-25780\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">South Korea's cryptocurrency exchanges account for a massive percentage daily global volumes.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>To make matters worse, many South Korean exchanges temporarily halted new users from signing up due to the lack of infrastructure to support the incredible wave of growth the market has seen over the past several months. It is likely that by the end of the month, exchanges will re-open, causing a flood of new money to enter the space.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally &#8212; historically, the cryptocurrency markets have always underperformed in January, partly due to the Chinese new year, when many people will withdraw money from the crypto exchanges to send to friends\/family domestically or overseas.<\/p>\n<p>The fragile dynamics of the Asian cryptocurrency market make it clear the extent that the Asian markets affect the rest of the globe. Just two weeks ago, the total cryptocurrency market cap hit a high of $832 billion, but because of the <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/south-korea-battleground-regulation\/\">constantly negative news and over-regulation<\/a> coming out of South Korea, the markets experienced a significant correction.<\/p>\n<h2>Bear Market Winners<\/h2>\n<p>Of course, in any bear markets, there are always winners, with <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/coins\/sirin-labs-token\/\">SIRIN LABS Token<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/coins\/cindicator\/\">Cindicator<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/coins\/vechain\/\">VeChain<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/coins\/nxt\/\">Nxt<\/a> all performing especially well over the weekend.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_26657\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-26657\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-26657 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/january-bear-market-winners-1024x889.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"889\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/january-bear-market-winners.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/january-bear-market-winners-300x260.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/january-bear-market-winners-768x667.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-26657\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><a href=\"http:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/coins\/sirin-labs-token\">SIRIN LABS Token<\/a> was the biggest winner of the past 24 hours &#8211; <strong>up 68%<\/strong>.
