South Korea Crypto Trading Volume Falls Over 50% as Top 10% of Users Drive 96% of Activity

  • —South Korea's crypto trading volume fell more than 50% year over year
  • —Top 10% of users generate over 96% of total turnover
  • —Upbit concentration rose from 89.36% to 95.6%
  • —Coinone at 99.2%, Digital X at 99.43%, Gopax at 97.61%
Why it matters: Rising concentration amid shrinking volumes signals retail traders are leaving and Korean exchanges increasingly depend on a narrow group of large players.
