$BTC South Korea Leads East Asia's #Bitcoin
$BTC Economy at $449B
Chainalysis put South Korea's crypto activity
at $449.1 billion from July 2025 to June
2026.
That's up 12.3% from the prior period, and
the largest total in East Asia.
The rest of the region was slightly lower
over the same stretch. East Asia as a whole
came in around $1.2 trillion.
Retail trading drove most of the Korean
figure. By June 2026, Al tokens were the
biggest theme in won-denominated volume,
led by Worldcoin at about $7.41 billion, then
$SAHARA and #VIRTUAL. Won-based AI
token volume ran roughly 19.5 times the
comparable yen volume.
