South Korea's foreign exchange fund bought about $2 billion of dollars that SK hynix raised in the US market. The purchase helped SK hynix convert money to won without crashing the won's value.
If SK hynix had sold all those dollars at once, it would have driven the won sharply higher. That would have disrupted currency markets. The fund's off-market purchase let SK hynix change the money while reducing currency pressure.
SK hynix raised capital in the US to pay for memory chip making and research. Its ADR listing finished in July 2026. It was the company's first direct US stock offering.
SK hynix's FY2025 revenue reached ₩97.1 trillion. Market value stood at ₩1.18 quadrillion on September 2.
