Jinse Finance reported that the chairman of the Korea Exchange, Jeong Eun-bo, stated in an interview with Daily Economy that South Korea needs to 'accelerate the institutionalization process of digital assets' and 'act quickly,' or it may fall behind in international competition. He pointed out that the average daily trading volume of the South Korean stock market is about 20 trillion won (approximately 14 billion USD), while the trading volume of the cryptocurrency market has exceeded this level since Trump was elected President of the United States. Jeong Eun-bo emphasized that the scale and influence of the crypto asset market have developed to a level that traditional markets can no longer ignore, and heads of exchanges from various countries had in-depth discussions on this topic at the recent World Federation of Exchanges (WFE) summit. Notably, the South Korean cryptocurrency market is unique, primarily dominated by retail investors. Currently, there are no cryptocurrency companies listed on the Korea Exchange, and companies are also unable to purchase cryptocurrencies using their balance sheets, while a spot Bitcoin ETF has yet to be approved.
