PANews reported on March 25th that, according to The Block, South Korea's Financial Services Commission released a report stating that approximately $60 billion in cryptocurrency flowed from South Korean cryptocurrency exchanges to overseas platforms and private wallets in the second half of 2025, a 14% increase from $52.5 billion in the first half of the year. The report speculates that these funds were transferred overseas for arbitrage and similar activities. By the end of 2025, South Korean cryptocurrency exchanges will have 11.1 million accounts, with deposits increasing by 31% to $5.4 billion, but operating profits will decrease by 38% to $253 million during the same period.

The South Korean Financial Services Commission estimates that the total market capitalization of cryptocurrencies in South Korea will reach approximately $58 billion by the end of 2025, an 8% decrease from the first half of the year, with daily trading volume declining by 15% to $3.6 billion. The report indicates that the decline in the prices of major cryptocurrencies at the end of last year was the primary reason for the decrease in trading volume and exchange profitability.
