This premium, although reduced, stands significantly high, with Bitcoin prices in South Korea hovering about $1,800 to $2,000 above the global average.
Such figures reflect the persistent demand and unique market dynamics present in the country's cryptocurrency trading landscape.
Moreover, the South Korean won has emerged as a central player in the global Bitcoin arena, securing the position of the second most traded fiat currency for Bitcoin .
Accounting for 2.07% of total spot transactions in Bitcoin, the won's prominence underscores South Korea's critical role in the cryptocurrency market.
