$USDC Spotlight: South Korea’s Q1 Stablecoin Surge & What It Signals
In Q1 2025, stablecoins like USDC and USDT made up 47.3% (₩26.87T) of South Korea’s ₩56.8T in crypto outflows, as traders gravitated toward dollar-pegged assets to access global markets like Binance and Bybit. Local platforms—Upbit, Bithumb, Coinone, Korbit, and Gopax—spearheaded these transfers, according to a May 8 report from the Financial Supervisory Service.
Interestingly, inflows exceeded outflows: ₩64.78T flowed into domestic exchanges, including ₩26.9T in stablecoins, revealing a dynamic two-way trade trend. As crypto reform tops voter concerns, South Korea faces mounting pressure to regulate the rising tide of stablecoin use.
