Just came across some interesting data on South Korean crypto users. Turns out from a recent regulatory survey, most people there are holding pretty small amounts - like 74.2% of the 11.13 million accounts had less than 1 million won during the latter half of 2025. The typical holder seems to be men in their 30s, which made up about 2 million of those accounts.

What caught my eye though is how rare the big players actually are. Only 1.5% of accounts were sitting on 100 million won or more. So if you're looking at the Korean crypto market, it's basically a sea of retail investors with very few whales. Pretty different from what some people imagine when they think about crypto adoption in Asia.
