The reputation of "cryptocurrency speculation power" is well-deserved! Bank of Korea: More than 30% of Koreans hold cryptocurrencies

For a long time, South Korea has been regarded by many as a "cryptocurrency speculation power". Because a considerable part of the population of South Korea is investing in cryptocurrencies, the enthusiasm of its people for "cryptocurrency speculation" may be relatively rare in the world.

After Trump won the US election in November this year, as the price of Bitcoin soared, the enthusiasm of the Korean people for cryptocurrencies has risen even more. According to data from the Bank of Korea, in November this year, the number of people holding cryptocurrencies on Korean exchanges exceeded 15.59 million.

At present, 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.
