According to the Korean media Pulse, citing CryptoQuant data, the total monthly trading volume of the top five CEXs in Korea - Upbit, Bithumb, Coinone, Korbit, and GOPAX - was around 16.17 trillion won (USD 115 billion) in November 2024. This figure includes the total trading volume of stablecoins such as Tether (USDT) and USDC issued by Circle, and is also about 7 times higher than the approximately 2 trillion won recorded at the beginning of the year. This is also the first time the monthly stablecoin trading volume in Korea has exceeded 10 trillion won. In addition, as of Monday, the 24-hour trading volume of the virtual asset market in Korea was 23 trillion won, accounting for 9.05% of the global total of 262 trillion won. The analysis points out that the surge in stablecoin trading may be related to Korean cryptocurrency investors transferring their assets overseas.
