Data shared by analyst Cyclop shows that XRP has taken a commanding lead, representing nearly 29% of trading volume on Upbit, the country\u2019s largest exchange.<\/p>\n
In contrast, Bitcoin\u2019s share on Upbit lags behind, highlighting Korea\u2019s unique trading appetite. Other notable pairs include ARK\/KRW at 7.5%, USDT\/KRW at 6.5%, and BTC\/KRW at just 4.6%. This heavy tilt toward altcoins underscores how Korean traders are \u201caping\u201d into emerging tokens, often driving rapid surges across multiple assets.<\/p>\n

The trend diverges from global platforms such as Binance, where Bitcoin and Ethereum dominate volumes. On Binance, BTC\/USD and BTC\/USDT together make up over 24%, with Ethereum pairs and stablecoin trading also taking significant shares. XRP, meanwhile, accounts for less than 4% of Binance volume, a sharp contrast to its dominance in Korea.<\/p>\n
