The South Korean government is improving its New Start Fund, a debt adjustment program for small business owners and the self-employed, by incorporating virtual assets into its review process, Yonhap News reported. Under the revised system, the debt reduction rate will be adjusted based on an applicant's repayment ability, which now considers their crypto holdings. Previously, the fund primarily verified debtors' income and assets through financial statements submitted by applicants and data accessible via public administrative information networks, a method that struggled to identify such investment assets. To address this, the fund has been utilizing virtual asset balance certificates in its property assessments since January of this year, following consultations with the five major South Korean crypto exchanges with won-denominated markets. Applicants identified as members of these exchanges are now required to submit these certificates directly.

Following a drop in Bitcoin's price to the $58,000 level, analysts suggest that the $54,900 mark could serve as a key support level, potentially forming a base for the next bull cycle if liquidity recovers. In a contribution to CryptoQuant, on-chain analyst XWIN RESEARCH JAPAN noted that over $1 billion in positions were liquidated yesterday. The firm described the sudden crash not as an isolated event but as the cumulative result of increased selling from miners, a weak Coinbase premium, slowing ETF inflows, and reduced short-term demand. While over 11 million BTC have entered a state of unrealized loss, this is comparable to levels seen at major market bottoms in 2019, 2020, and 2022. The analysis added that long-term holders are still not selling, and accumulation addresses are consistently buying BTC, absorbing the supply from large investors who are panic-selling. Echoing this sentiment, on-chain analyst Carmelo Aleman identified $54,900 as the key support zone. He explained that this level represents a confluence of the average investor cost basis, mining costs, and the MVRV (Market Value to Realized Value) ratio. "If liquidity indicators like the Coinbase premium and nominal demand begin to recover around this price point, it could lay the foundation for the next upward cycle," Aleman stated, adding that periods of extreme fear in the BTC market have repeatedly served as starting points for subsequent rallies.
