Arrest Warrant Issued for South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol

對韓國總統尹錫烈發出逮捕令

A South Korean court has approved an arrest warrant for President Yoon Suk Yeol, who was previously impeached and suspended from office. This marks the first time a sitting South Korean president has faced an arrest warrant.

韓國一家法院批准了對先前被彈劾並停職的總統尹錫烈的逮捕令。這是韓國在任總統首次面臨逮捕令。

Investigators sought the warrant after President Yoon failed to appear for questioning for a third time. The request was made by a joint investigation taskforce comprised of the National Office of Investigation, the Corruption Investigation Office for High-ranking Officials (CIO), and the Criminal Investigation Command of the Defense Ministry.

在尹總統第三次未能出庭接受訊問後，調查人員尋求逮捕令。該請求是由國家調查辦公室、高級官員腐敗調查辦公室（CIO）和國防部刑事調查司令部組成的聯合調查工作組提出的。

The CIO has stated that the arrest warrant must be executed within seven days of approval but can be extended as necessary. Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Choi Sang-mok is currently serving as South Korea's interim leader after Yoon was impeached on December 14.

資訊長表示，逮捕令必須在批准後七天內執行，但可以根據需要延長。尹正於12月14日被彈劾後，副總理兼財政部長崔尚木目前擔任韓國臨時領導人。

Martial Law Triggered Market Dip

戒嚴引發市場下跌

On December 3, Yoon imposed martial law in a live television address, citing concerns about anti-state elements and threats from North Korea. This action led to a brief slump in crypto prices both domestically and internationally.

12 月 3 日，尹在電視直播演說中宣布實施戒嚴，理由是對反國家分子和北韓威脅的擔憂。這項行動導致國內和國際加密貨幣價格短暫下跌。

On South Korean crypto exchanges, the price of Bitcoin dropped by as much as $30,000 in six hours, attributed to a liquidity crisis exacerbated by the absence of key market players.

在韓國加密貨幣交易所，比特幣的價格在六小時內下跌了 3 萬美元，因為主要市場參與者的缺席加劇了流動性危機。

On international platforms, the prices of Bitcoin, Ethereum, and XRP also declined by up to 4% in response to the news. Crypto prices recovered quickly after the parliament ordered Yoon to lift the martial law on December 4.

在國際平台上，比特幣、以太幣和 XRP 的價格也因這一消息而下跌了 4%。在議會於 12 月 4 日命令 Yoon 解除戒嚴令後，加密貨幣價格迅速回升。

The incident occurred the day following South Korea's second-highest level of retail crypto trading for the year, driven by a surge in interest in "high momentum" altcoins such as XRP, Dogecoin, and Stellar.

該事件發生前一天，韓國零售加密貨幣交易量創下今年第二高水平，原因是人們對 XRP、Dogecoin 和 Stellar 等「高勢頭」山寨幣的興趣激增。
