Daily trading volumes on South Korean exchanges have hit their highest point since August last year, with altcoins dominating the transactions, according to data<\/a> from blockchain analytical firm Kaiko.<\/p>\n

Trading activities on major South Korean platforms, including Upbit<\/a>, Bithumb<\/a>, Coinone, and Korbit, surged to an average of more than $4 billion towards the end of October and the beginning of November before dropping to more than $3 billion.<\/p>\n

Data from CCData, as reported<\/a> by Bloomberg, also corroborates these upward trading activities on South Korean exchanges. According to the report, crypto trading platforms in the Asian country saw their market shares rise<\/a> to around 13% from the 5.2% recorded in January.<\/p>\n

Around this period, the crypto market saw flagship digital assets like Bitcoin (BTC<\/a>), Ethereum (ETH<\/a>), and Solana (SOL<\/a>) rally to new yearly highs driven by the market optimism<\/a> surrounding the possible approval of a spot exchange-traded fund (ETF) in the United States.<\/p>\n

However, South Korean crypto traders heavily trade altcoins, according to CryptoQuant analysts.<\/p>\n

Upbit dominates<\/h2>\n

Meanwhile, the Kaiko<\/a> data restates Upbit's South Korean crypto market dominance, as the exchange accounts for most trading activities.<\/p>\n

Kaiko noted<\/a> that Upbit's market dominance had soared to as high as 90% in May last year before slightly declining to around 80% in October 2023. Altcoins account<\/a> for 88% of all trading activities on Upbit.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, its rival, Bithumb, controls around 20% of the market. During the past year, the crypto exchange's leadership has faced various challenges, with its majority shareholder, Kang Jong-hyun, being arrested<\/a> for allegedly embezzling roughly $50 million.<\/p>\n

This has resulted in its latest efforts to rebuild public trust<\/a> by planning an \u00a0Initial Public Offering (IPO) for 2025 and removing transaction fees.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
