According to a survey report by local Korean institutions DeSpread and CoinNess on 3,108 Korean crypto investors, after the cryptocurrency market heats up in 2024, investors who have entered the Korean cryptocurrency market account for about 33%. Among them, investors who invested less than half a year were mainly affected by the news of Trump's election, while investors who invested for half a year to one year were mainly attracted by the approval of Bitcoin spot ETFs. Although Korean investors are not familiar with DEX, the investment ratio of meme coins has exceeded half. This is largely due to CEX's active listing of this type of currency. As of February 2025, Bithumb has launched 16 meme coins, including DOGE, TRUMP, PENGU, etc., which are more active than Upbit's 6. About 75% of crypto asset investors in South Korea are optimistic about the price of Bitcoin in 2025, and are generally expected to exceed 150 million won (about 102,000 US dollars).
