00:00It's Thursday, November 12th. Here's why global investors are paying attention to Korea today.
00:05Anthropic just opened the door for early investors to sell right after its Nasdaq
00:09listing on November 19th. That is a sharp departure from the usual 180-day lockup,
00:15and Kostak's rebound above 700 is drawing attention on the Korean side.
00:19Here's what the numbers show. Anthropic's proposed valuation sits at $1 trillion on
00:25issued shares, and up to $1.4 trillion on a fully diluted basis. Foreign investors shuffled out
00:31of Tesla-linked leveraged ETFs, with 95% of that money moving into SpaceX within one month.
00:37Korean retail investors booked $5.0400 million in net Tesla selling. Meanwhile, Kostak closed at
00:45705.10, up 5.62%, after institutions bought more than $500 billion won over two sessions.
00:54Foreign selling on Kostak stood at $257 billion won year-to-date from pension funds alone.
01:00Here's what the numbers show, and what they mean for allocation.
01:03Brokers like Goldman Sachs are looking to raise the offer price to push valuation above $1.5 trillion.
01:10In Seoul, the government's Kostak fund plan remains unfinished, and local VCs still face
01:16legal limits on buying listed small caps. So what does this mean for global investors weighing Korea
01:22exposure? First, the lock-up carve-out in Anthropics filing tells you that early-stage
01:27liquidity is shifting faster than the old playbook assumed. Second, the Tesla-to-SpaceX rotation shows
01:33how quickly capital follows merger signals, not just earnings. Third, Kostak's climb is still driven
01:39mostly by retail and thin institutional flow, so the rally is not yet structural. Earlier, we said that
01:46liquidity is the real story behind these headlines. Here's what that actually means for your Korea
01:51positioning. Watch flows, not headlines. That's today's AI Prism. Global investors. This episode
01:58was produced with AI assistance based on Seoul Economic Daily reporting. AI Prism is a Juan
02:04IFRA award-winning series. We'll be back tomorrow.
