According to Deep Tide TechFlow news, on November 26, Matrixport released today's chart: South Korea, as one of the most active retail cryptocurrency markets globally, saw Ethereum and Bitcoin trading volumes ranking only sixth and seventh in the past 24 hours, while the trading volumes of coins like Sand, XRP, XLM, and Dege significantly led. This phenomenon reflects a change in retail investor trading preferences. As Bitcoin approaches the $100,000 mark driven by institutional funds, retail investors tend to choose assets with greater upside potential, seeking higher return elasticity (Beta returns).
What is more striking is that, according to some indicators, the cryptocurrency trading volume of retail investors in South Korea has surpassed that of the local stock market. This marks a generational shift: traditional stock investors (often passive index fund holders) are being replaced by a new generation of cryptocurrency users. This trend may continue to spread globally.
