According to data from the Korea East Asia Daily, the age structure of cryptocurrency investors in South Korea has changed significantly, with a marked increase in the proportion of investors over the age of 50. Particularly among those holding assets exceeding 1 billion won (approximately 'crypto whales'), nearly half of the investors are over 50 years old. The data shows that the number of investors aged 50 and above has increased by more than 50% year-on-year, with a particularly notable rise in investors aged 60 and above. This trend indicates that cryptocurrency investment is no longer limited to the younger generation, with an increasing number of middle-aged and older individuals beginning to engage in this market. As an investment tool, cryptocurrency has gradually transcended age boundaries, attracting participants from different age groups. Especially in technologically advanced countries like South Korea, cryptocurrency has become a connection point between the elderly and the young and may become an important component of future financial markets. This change also indicates that middle-aged and older individuals' trust and interest in cryptocurrency are gradually increasing. The limitations of the traditional financial system and the demand for high returns may be one of the factors driving this change. As more 'crypto whales' emerge, market volatility and potential risks may also increase, prompting investors to pay closer attention to market trends and changes in regulatory policies. #巨鲸动向
