South Korea's Retail Crypto Trading Volume in Q1 Reaches $69 Billion, Down 28% Year-on-Year

On June 17, the Korea Times reported that the retail-driven crypto boom in South Korea is significantly cooling down. According to data from TRM Labs, the retail crypto trading volume in South Korea for the first quarter of this year was $69 billion, a 28% decrease compared to the same period last year, ranking second globally. The United States topped the list with a trading volume of $212 billion, followed by Russia ($48 billion), India ($46 billion), and Turkey ($40 billion). Analysts indicate that one of the main reasons for the slowdown in the crypto boom is the domestic stock market in South Korea, where the rise of AI-driven semiconductor stocks has absorbed a large amount of retail funds and shifted risk appetite away from cryptocurrencies. Some constituents of the Korea Composite Stock Price Index (KOSPI) have seen daily gains exceeding those of mainstream cryptocurrencies.
