BlockBeats News, March 25 — According to the latest report from South Korea’s financial regulators, in the second half of 2025, South Korean crypto exchanges transferred approximately $60 billion worth of cryptocurrencies to overseas platforms and private wallets, a 14% increase from the first half’s 78.9 trillion won (about $52.5 billion).
The report also shows that although the number of users and deposits on local South Korean exchanges increased, overall profitability declined. By the end of 2025, the number of accounts on South Korean crypto exchanges reached 11.1 million, a 3% increase from June 2025. Deposits surged by 31%, reaching 8.1 trillion won (about $54 billion). Despite growth in users and assets, this did not translate into higher profits. The 18 operational exchanges in South Korea reported a combined operating profit of 380.7 billion won (about $253.4 million) in the second half of 2025, a significant 38% drop from 617.8 billion won (about $411.2 million) in the first half.
