Matrixport released a chart today stating that South Korea, as one of the most active retail cryptocurrency markets in the world, ranked only sixth and seventh in trading volume for Ethereum and Bitcoin over the past 24 hours, while the trading volumes of coins such as Sand, XRP, XLM, and Doge significantly led. This phenomenon reflects a shift in retail investors' trading preferences. As Bitcoin approaches the $100,000 mark driven by institutional money, retail investors tend to favor assets with greater upside potential, seeking higher return elasticity (Beta returns). More notably, according to certain indicators, the cryptocurrency trading volume of South Korean retail investors has surpassed that of the local stock market. This marks a generational shift: traditional stock investors (typically passive index fund holders) are being replaced by a new generation of retail cryptocurrency investors. This trend may continue to spread globally.
