The Bank of Korea (BOK) noted in its latest Financial Stability Report that Korean crypto trading volume remains elevated at 157% of the global average. However, network activity has shifted as retail investors focus on profit-taking. In 2025, as Bitcoin prices rose above $100,000, 91.2% of trading volume came from the top 10% of accounts. The BOK warned that increased institutional access could heighten market risks. Investors are now channeling funds into local equities and leveraged U.S. ETFs.
