On the 11th, Bitcoin's price temporarily exceeded 100 million KRW based on domestic prices, setting a new all-time high. This surge has reportedly led to a sharp increase in individual investors' trading activity. According to CryptoQuant, a virtual asset market analysis firm, the virtual asset trading volume on the top five domestic exchanges (Upbit, Bithumb, Coinone, Korbit, and GOPAX) reached 58.8 billion USD (approximately 78 trillion KRW) from the 1st to the 7th of this month.

As Bitcoin continuously breaks its all-time highs, about 1,500 "millionaire wallets" are being created daily, Bloomberg reported on the 11th (local time). According to Kaiko Research, a virtual asset market analysis firm, 1,691 millionaire wallets were created in a single day on the 1st. This is attributed to the approximately 70% surge in cryptocurrency prices this year following the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) approval of a spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) launch in January. Since the beginning of this year, 10.3 billion USD (about 13.4734 trillion KRW) has flowed into the cryptocurrency market, most of which is Bitcoin.
