A report from the South Korean FSC indicates that over $60 billion in crypto assets will flow from domestic exchanges to overseas exchanges in the second half of 2025.

CoinFeed reported on March 25th, citing The Block, that a report released by South Korea's Financial Services Commission (FSC) stated that approximately $60 billion in cryptocurrency flowed from South Korean cryptocurrency exchanges to overseas platforms and private wallets in the second half of 2025, a 14% increase from $52.5 billion in the first half of the year. The report speculates that these funds were transferred overseas for arbitrage and similar activities. By the end of 2025, South Korean cryptocurrency exchanges will have 11.1 million accounts, with deposits increasing by 31% to $5.4 billion, but operating profits will decrease by 38% to $253 million during the same period. The FSC estimates that the total market capitalization of South Korean cryptocurrencies will be approximately $58 billion by the end of 2025, an 8% decrease from the first half of the year, with daily trading volume decreasing by 15% to $3.6 billion. The report points out that the decline in major cryptocurrency prices at the end of last year was the main reason for the decline in trading volume and exchange profitability.
