Goldman Sachs says Korean retail flows into crypto could leave KOSPI more reliant on foreign and institutional buying

Goldman Sachs said in a Sept. 23 report that South Korea’s KOSPI has the setup for a short-term tactical breakout, but the index may need more support from foreign investors and domestic institutions as retail liquidity continues to move into crypto. Chris Cha, a Korea equity analyst in Goldman Sachs Global Investment Research, said concerns around U.S. Federal Reserve rates have been partly absorbed by the market, while risk appetite has shifted toward agentic AI themes. The report also pointed to support from Korean memory-chip fundamentals, including an expected double-digit quarter-on-quarter increase in fourth-quarter DRAM contract prices and tighter standard server DRAM supply as HBM4 capacity ramps up. At the same time, Goldman said local retail investors in Korea are showing weaker capacity to absorb equities. After Bitcoin returned to $85,000, crypto trading activity in Korea picked up. Citing DefiLlama data, the report said Upbit’s daily spot volume rose from about $770 million on June 13 to $1.817 billion on Sept. 22, an increase of roughly 136%. Based on a combined $3.27 billion in trading across Korea’s five major exchanges that day, Upbit accounted for more than half.
