[South Korea's Crypto Asset Outflow Reaches $60 Billion in the Second Half of 2025] A report from South Korea's Financial Services Commission reveals that approximately $60 billion (90 trillion KRW) in crypto assets flowed to overseas platforms and private wallets in the second half of 2025, marking a 14% increase compared to the first half. Despite a 3% growth in local exchange users to 11.1 million accounts and a 31% rise in deposit volume to 8.1 trillion KRW (approximately $5.4 billion), the combined operating profit of 18 exchanges totaled 380.7 billion KRW (approximately $253 million), a 38% decline from the first half. The total market capitalization of South Korea's crypto market at the end of the year stood at approximately 87.2 trillion KRW (around $58 billion), an 8% decrease compared to the first half. Meanwhile, the average daily trading volume dropped 15% quarter-on-quarter to 5.4 trillion KRW (approximately $3.6 billion). Regulators pointed out that the primary reason for the decline in trading volume and profitability was the drop in the prices of major crypto assets.
