It was reported that a large amount of USDT was deposited into Upbit when the domestic virtual asset market plummeted due to President Yoon Seok-yeol's declaration of martial law the previous night.

On the 3rd (local time), CoinDesk reported that more than $163 million (about 230.46 billion won) of USDT was transferred to Upbit within an hour of the martial law declaration. 'Whales' with a large trading volume of virtual assets deposited USDT into Upbit to buy BTC and other tokens at low prices as they plummeted.

Lookonchain said that "many virtual asset whales transferred a large amount of USDT to Upbit, aiming to buy at low prices." USDT is a stablecoin pegged 1:1 to the US dollar and is mainly used to purchase other virtual assets.
