South Korea Records $60 Billion Crypto Outflow in H2 2025

South Korea's Financial Services Commission (FSC) revealed that approximately $60 billion in digital assets were moved out of the country during the second half of 2025. The report indicates that these massive outflows were directed toward international exchanges and private wallets. According to the FSC, the movement was primarily driven by investors seeking arbitrage opportunities amid high market volatility. This trend is often linked to the "Kimchi Premium," where domestic prices differ significantly from global averages. The scale of these outflows represents a significant drain on domestic liquidity within the South Korean crypto ecosystem. Market analysts suggest that such a large-scale exodus of capital may prompt regulators to implement stricter oversight on cross-border digital asset transfers.
