According to ChainCatcher and SBS reports, by the end of February 2025, the total number of users on Korean virtual asset trading platforms reached 16.29 million, accounting for approximately 32% of the country's total population, which exceeds the number of stock investors (14.1 million).
It is worth noting that this data is based on the total account holders of Korea's five major trading platforms - Upbit, Bithumb, Coinone, Korbit, and Gopax. If the same person opens accounts on multiple exchanges, they will be counted multiple times.
