About EWY
EWY tracks the value of 1 share of the MSCI South Korea ETF. The ETF seeks to track the investment results of an index composed of South Korean equities. The fund tracks the MSCI Korea 25/50 Index, a float-adjusted index of South Korea's largest listed companies with issuer caps that stop any single name — most notably Samsung Electronics — from dominating the fund.
On Aster (AsterDex), EWY is a synthetic perpetual market. Aster quotes it independently of every other venue CoinBeaver tracks, so its mark price, funding rate and open interest are its own.
EWY is listed as an Aster synthetic perpetual market. Prices track traditional-asset exposure synthetically and do not represent ownership of the underlying shares, ETFs, commodities, or cash instruments. Educational market data only — not investment advice.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Does trading EWY give me any of the rights of owning shares in the MSCI South Korea ETF?
- No. EWY is a synthetic perpetual with no delivery mechanism or arbitrage bridge to the ETF's actual shares. It gives price exposure only — there are no shareholder rights, no dividends, no creation/redemption rights, and no claim on the underlying fund.
