币界网报道：South Korean crypto investors across all age groups plan to increase digital asset holdings amid President Lee Jae Myung's push for won-based stablecoin adoption, according to a Hana Financial Research Institute survey of 1,000 respondents. While 27% currently own crypto, 70% intend to buy more within a year, with ownership highest among those in their 40s (31%). Motivations vary by age, from high-risk trading for younger investors to retirement planning for those in their 50s. The policy shift has boosted stablecoin-related stocks, with KakaoPay Corp surging 134% in a month and Circle becoming Korean investors' top overseas stock with $443 million invested. A new parliamentary bill proposes allowing companies with just 500 million KRW ($367,000) capital to issue stablecoins, mirroring aspects of the U.S. GENIUS Act. This regulatory momentum has contributed to South Korea's KOSPI index nearing a four-year high, making it Asia's top-performing market in 2025.
