The number of members of domestic virtual asset (cryptocurrency) exchanges has exceeded 16 million, emerging as an investment infrastructure comparable to the traditional stock market.
According to data released by Representative Cha Kyoo-geun of the National Assembly's Planning and Finance Committee from the Democratic Innovation Party on the 30th, the number of domestic virtual asset investors totaled 16.29 million as of the end of last month. This figure is the sum of accounts registered with the five major domestic exchanges: Upbit, Bithumb, Coinone, Korbit, and Gopax. It also includes cases where the same individual has registered with multiple exchanges.
This amounts to about 32% of the total population (51.68 million), meaning that one in three people has entered the virtual asset market. This number of investors is close to the number of domestic stockholders (14.1 million as of the end of 2023).
