According to the latest report from the Hana Financial Research Institute, 27% of people aged 20 to 50 in South Korea hold crypto assets, which account for an average of 14% of their financial assets. Among them, the 40-year-old group has the highest holding proportion at 31%. 70% of respondents plan to further increase their investment, with main motivations including growth potential, asset diversification, and optimization of savings structure. The research also points out that Korean investors are shifting from short-term trading to regular investments and medium-term holdings, and are relying more on official platforms for information.
