According to ChainCatcher news and reports from Naver, data from the Bank of Korea shows that as of the end of November, the number of cryptocurrency investors in South Korea reached 15.59 million, an increase of 610,000 from October. This figure accounts for over 30% of the country's total population, reflecting increased market activity following U.S. President Trump's commitment to support the cryptocurrency industry. The rise in Bitcoin prices has also fueled the growth of this trend.

The average daily trading volume in November reached 14.9 trillion won (approximately 10.288 billion USD), equivalent to the total daily trading volume of the KOSPI market and the KOSDAQ market in South Korea for the same month.
