[Cryptocurrency Funds Flow into South Korea's Real Estate Market, Over 70% of Buyers in Their 30s]
According to a report by Jinse Finance on May 10, citing South Korean media, the inflow of cryptocurrency investment profits into the real estate market has been partially confirmed as South Korea began listing proceeds from virtual asset sales separately in housing financing plans this year. Data from South Korea's Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport shows that between February 10 and March 31 of this year, a total of 324 homebuyers declared the use of cryptocurrency sale proceeds in their housing purchase financing plans. Among them, 229 were in their 30s (ages 30-39), accounting for 70.7%.
In terms of amount, individuals in their 30s declared a total of 10.31 billion KRW (approximately $7.4 million) in cryptocurrency sale proceeds for home purchases, the highest among all age groups. However, cryptocurrency sale proceeds accounted for only 0.1% of their total home purchase funds, indicating that the scale remains relatively limited at present.
