BlockBeats news, December 27, the Bank of Korea published a report based on the number of investors with accounts at five major South Korean exchanges: Upbit, Bithumb, Coin One, Cobit, and Gopax. As of November this year, the number of people holding cryptocurrencies in South Korean exchanges exceeded 15.59 million, an increase of 610,000 from 14.98 million in October.
Currently, South Korea's total population is estimated to be around 51.23 million. This means that the number of people holding cryptocurrencies accounts for more than 30% of the total population.
The report states that the number of cryptocurrency investors in South Korea has been rising, and in November it soared sharply. This may be a result of the highly optimistic market sentiment following the election victory of Donald Trump as president of the United States in early November. (Jinshi)
