Svmuu News According to the latest findings from South Korea's top financial regulator, approximately $60 billion worth of cryptocurrency flowed from South Korean exchanges to overseas platforms and private wallets in the second half of 2025.
A report released by the Financial Services Commission on Wednesday stated that the total outflow during this period reached 90 trillion won ($60 billion), a 14% increase from the 78.9 trillion won ($52.5 billion) recorded in the first half of the year.
The report noted, "It is presumed that virtual assets are being transferred abroad for arbitrage and other similar activities."
The report also revealed that while the number of users and deposit amounts on local exchanges increased during this period, overall profitability declined.
As of the end of last year, the number of cryptocurrency exchange accounts reached 11.1 million, a 3% increase from June 2025. Deposit growth was more significant, climbing 31% to 8.1 trillion won ($5.4 billion). (The Block)
