[KR KOL Index] Apr 22 | Top Trending Topics on Global & KR Timelines

A message saying “Don’t sell Tether—let’s use it” circulated widely, pulling community attention toward the stablecoin price gap. A comparison also spread showing USDT priced about 20 KRW lower than the USD exchange rate (USD/KRW 1,509 vs USDT 1,489), prompting reactions focused on usage—payments and transfers—rather than simple holding or selling. Alongside this trend, tax-related discussions, exchange events, and AI/BASE meta posts also surfaced at the top, dispersing attention across multiple themes.

“USD 1,509 vs USDT 1,489” gap mentioned… stablecoin-usage narrative gains traction

In certain channels, figures were shared suggesting USDT was trading lower than the KRW-per-USD exchange rate, and comments like “don’t sell—use it” spread. Many users said they could feel the gap between KRW FX rates and stablecoin prices, and posts reframing stablecoins in terms of practical use—trading, transfers, and payments—drew attention. The comparison was rapidly re-shared in screenshots or short summaries.

Crypto tax abolition petition “passes 80%” and nears the finish line… many posts urging participation

Across the community, updates such as “the petition to abolish crypto taxation has reached 80%” were repeatedly shared. In announcement-style rooms, a late-stage push emerged, with high-view posts attaching links and urging people to sign. A notable feature was that action-oriented content (“agree now”) outperformed pure opinion exchanges.

Exchange events & fee-saving tips rank high… new-deposit promos, challenges, coupon renewal info

Many users shared participation-based reward information, including Bithumb’s new-deposit event (BTC rewards, pizza prizes, fee benefits) and Coinone’s RLUSD trading challenge. Practical tips—like regularly extending/registering fee-discount coupons—also spread, reflecting steady demand for tangible benefits over market 전망. Step-by-step notices summarizing schedules, requirements, and participation paths received especially strong engagement.

AI & BASE agent meta spreads… narratives emerge like “AI will lead stablecoin payments”

Separately, “future narrative” posts argued that AI-agent adoption could drive blockchain usage. Claims that AI could accumulate Bitcoin or that stablecoin payment volume could surpass humans, along with posts sharing agent-related metrics (e.g., Virtuals) within the BASE ecosystem, helped form a coherent meta narrative. While individual coins were mentioned, the tone focused less on short-term price action and more on “which meta is alive.”

On-chain tracking & overseas regulation cases, plus leverage-loss articles also circulated

A case from Taiwan—where Polymarket betting reportedly led to an investigation—was shared, triggering warnings about KYC and fund-tracing risk. A news-style summary about a Korean mutual-aid company allegedly using customer funds for leveraged crypto trades and suffering large losses also spread. The focus was less on definitive investment calls and more on curation-style “this is what’s going around.”

Overall, community top posts highlighted stablecoin usage discussions sparked by the perceived KRW–USDT gap, while calls to support the crypto tax abolition petition re-accelerated. In parallel, practical exchange event/fee-saving tips and AI/BASE agent meta roundups were consumed side-by-side, indicating a simultaneous rise of “policy–practical–theme” issues.
