Arrest Warrant Issued for South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol

对韩国总统尹锡烈发出逮捕令

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.

韩国一家法院批准了对此前被弹劾并停职的总统尹锡烈的逮捕令。这是韩国在任总统首次面临逮捕令。

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.

在尹总统第三次未能出庭接受讯问后，调查人员寻求逮捕令。该请求是由国家调查办公室、高级官员腐败调查办公室（CIO）和国防部刑事调查司令部组成的联合调查工作组提出的。

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.

首席信息官表示，逮捕令必须在批准后七天内执行，但可以根据需要延长。尹正于12月14日被弹劾后，副总理兼财政部长崔尚木目前担任韩国临时领导人。

Martial Law Triggered Market Dip

戒严引发市场下跌

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，尹在电视直播讲话中宣布实施戒严，理由是对反国家分子和朝鲜威胁的担忧。这一行动导致国内和国际加密货币价格短暂下跌。

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.

在韩国加密货币交易所，比特币的价格在六小时内下跌了 3 万美元，原因是主要市场参与者的缺席加剧了流动性危机。

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.

在国际平台上，比特币、以太坊和 XRP 的价格也因这一消息而下跌了 4%。在议会于 12 月 4 日命令 Yoon 解除戒严令后，加密货币价格迅速回升。

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.

该事件发生前一天，韩国零售加密货币交易量创下今年第二高水平，原因是人们对 XRP、Dogecoin 和 Stellar 等“高势头”山寨币的兴趣激增。
