CoinVoice has recently learned that, according to the latest financial stability report released by the Bank of Korea, the activity level of the South Korean cryptocurrency market remains higher than the global average, at 157% and 112% respectively. However, as Bitcoin is expected to exceed $100,000 in 2025, the behavior of South Korean retail investors has shifted from actively accumulating to focusing on profit-taking and significant cashing out.

The report indicates that 91.2% of the trading volume in the South Korean cryptocurrency market is contributed by the top 10% of accounts, leading to an increase in market manipulation risks. The Bank of Korea warns that if institutional and ETF access is relaxed, the vulnerabilities of the South Korean market in global fluctuations will intensify. Currently, related hot money has shifted to the South Korean local stock market and U.S. leveraged ETFs.[Original link]
