TechFlow News, May 10: According to Cointelegraph, South Korean investors’ total cryptocurrency holdings plummeted from ₩121.8 trillion (approximately $83.3 billion) at the end of January 2025 to ₩60.6 trillion (approximately $41.4 billion) at the end of February 2026—a decline of over 50%. Meanwhile, daily trading volume across the top five exchanges shrank from $11.6 billion to $3 billion during the same period. The primary drivers behind this decline are falling crypto prices and capital shifting toward equities. At the same time, regulatory pressure continues to mount: authorities plan to implement new anti-money laundering (AML) rules in August, mandating automatic flagging of cross-border crypto transactions exceeding ₩10 million; a 22% tax on crypto gains has also been confirmed to take effect as scheduled on January 1, 2027.
