The trading volume of virtual assets in South Korea has dropped to about 8% of KOSPI, and the Bitcoin premium in South Korea continues to be negative
According to Digital Asset, the trading volume of local virtual assets in South Korea has dropped to about 8% of the KOSPI trading volume, less than one-tenth of it. Media statistics show that the trading volume of the Korean won market exchanges (Upbit, Bithumb, Coinone, Korbit, Gopax) is only 8% of the KOSPI trading volume.
The report points out that the South Korean virtual asset market has been continuously weakening since the second half of 2025, with a significant drop in October 2025 after a large-scale futures liquidation, while the KOSPI has strengthened due to semiconductor prosperity and policy support. Additionally, according to CryptoQuant data, the Bitcoin Korea premium indicator has been negative for most of the time since March, reflecting weak buying interest in the Korean market.
