Weekly volume on top five exchanges fell 25.75% to KRW 9.9676 trillion, marking a 43.5% decline from early June levels.
South Korea’s top five crypto exchanges saw weekly trading volume drop below KRW 10 trillion for the first time in nearly three years. The total volume for July 3–10 reached KRW 9.9676 trillion, down 25.75% from the prior week’s KRW 13.4 trillion.
The decline extends a five-week losing streak, with volumes plunging 43.5% since early June, when they peaked at KRW 17.7 trillion. The last time volumes fell below KRW 10 trillion was in late September 2023.
The drop reflects cooling retail interest amid broader market uncertainty and regulatory scrutiny in the region.
