According to a Hashed Open Research survey, 25% of South Koreans currently own cryptocurrencies. The survey respondents were 2,000 South Korean residents aged 20-69, with the participation rate among the 30-39 age group being the highest, reaching 54%. According to the data, 3.6% of respondents hold crypto assets worth more than 100 million won (about $68,900), and 25% hold between $689 and $3443. 57% of cryptocurrency investors said they use their salary to invest, and more than half of investors said they chose cryptocurrencies because "they can achieve higher returns in the short term compared to other assets". It is worth noting that about a quarter of cryptocurrency holders use overseas exchanges or decentralized exchanges (DEXs), and more than half of them store more than 20% of their assets on these platforms. The survey also revealed that 11% of respondents who have never invested in cryptocurrencies expressed their intention to invest in the future.
