27% of South Koreans aged 20-50 hold crypto assets, and 70% plan to continue investing

According to the latest report from Hana Financial Research Institute, 27% of Koreans aged 20 to 50 hold crypto assets, accounting for an average of 14% of their financial assets. Among them, the 40-year-old group has the highest holding ratio, reaching 31%. 70% of respondents plan to further increase their investment in the future, mainly due to growth potential, asset diversification and optimization of savings structure. The study also pointed out that Korean investors are shifting from short-term speculation to fixed investment and medium-term holdings, and are more dependent on formal platforms for obtaining information. Although market volatility is still a major concern, young people have regarded crypto assets as their main investment outlet due to employment and real estate pressures. (Cointelegraph)
