South Korean digital-asset investors show strong reliance on domestic exchanges, with 94.8% saying they currently keep their holdings there. The Korea Financial Consumer Foundation survey, reported by The Herald Business, covered 2,500 adults ages 19 to 69 in Seoul, Gyeonggi Province and South Korea’s six largest metropolitan cities. Exchange use was especially frequent among middle-aged and older respondents: people in their 60s represented 24.8% of those checking exchanges at least twice daily, followed by respondents in their 50s at 22.1%. The shares were 12% among people in their 20s and 13.6% among those in their 30s. The findings underscore the role of exchange custody (holding assets on a trading platform) in South Korea’s digital-asset market.
