Former South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol has been arrested following his attempt to impose martial law, marking significant political and economic shifts in the country.

Yoon Suk Yeol's Arrest and Impeachment

Yoon Suk Yeol, the former president of South Korea, was arrested following his bid to impose martial law in December. This came after his impeachment on December 14, and he was taken into custody on January 15 after failing to attend three investigative hearings.

Impact on the Crypto Market

Yoon's martial law declaration led to significant fluctuations in South Korea's crypto market. Bitcoin prices plummeted by $30,000 within six hours on local exchanges like UpBit, coinciding with a period of heightened trading activity of altcoins like XRP and Dogecoin.

Future Uncertainty Amid Leadership Transition

South Korea remains in a state of uncertainty following Yoon Suk Yeol's arrest. Acting President Choi Sang-mok faces the challenge of restoring political order and addressing the country's economic issues.

Yoon Suk Yeol's arrest signifies substantial changes in South Korea's political landscape, emphasizing the importance of stability in governance and the economy.
