[South Korea's Virtual Asset Trading Volume Drops to About 8% of KOSPI Trading Volume] According to Digital Asset, as of May 26, the trading volume of South Korean won-based exchanges (Upbit, Bithumb, Coinone, Korbit, Gopax) was only 8% of the KOSPI trading volume. The report mentioned that South Korea's virtual asset market has been weakening since the second half of 2025, with a significant decline in October 2025 due to large-scale futures liquidations, while KOSPI strengthened due to the semiconductor boom and policy support. Additionally, data from CryptoQuant shows that the Bitcoin Korea Premium Index has been negative for most of the time since March, reflecting weak market buying pressure.
