Fact Check
The Reuters article (2026-06-22) explicitly states that Korea Exchange CEO Jeong Eun-bo plans to list the leveraged ETF products tied to Korean chipmakers (Samsung Electronics, SK Hynix) in Hong Kong and London. This is corroborated by the two supplied Chinese-language newsflashes (Odaily and BlockBeats), both citing Jin10, which report the same statement about pursuing offshore leveraged ETFs tied to Korean chipmaker stocks in markets such as Hong Kong and London. The independent and primary news corroboration strongly supports the claim.
