[Bank of Korea: More than 30% of Koreans hold cryptocurrencies]
On December 27, the Bank of Korea released a report based on the number of investors with accounts on five major Korean exchanges, including Upbit, Bithumb, Coin One, Cobit and Gopax, saying that as of November this year, the number of people holding cryptocurrencies on Korean exchanges exceeded 15.59 million, an increase of 610,000 from 14.98 million in October.
Currently, the total population of South Korea is expected to be around 51.23 million. This means that the number of people holding cryptocurrencies is equivalent to more than 30% of the total population.
The report said that the number of cryptocurrency investors in South Korea has been rising, and it soared in November. This may be the result of highly optimistic market sentiment after US President-elect Trump won the election in early November.
Otherwise, it is said that Koreans are fierce. The internal volume in South Korea is increasing, and the currency circle may be one of the few opportunities. Do you think there are 10 million people holding coins in the country? $ME #韩国
