"Top 5 Domestic Virtual Asset Exchanges Surpass 100 Trillion Won in User Assets"

It is reported that the total assets of users held by domestic virtual asset (cryptocurrency) exchanges such as Upbit have surpassed 100 trillion won.

According to the office of Kim Hyun-jung of the Democratic Party of Korea on the 16th, the total assets, including virtual assets and deposits, held by the top five exchanges—Upbit, Bithumb, Coinone, Korbit, and Gopax—amounted to 115.7267 trillion won as of the end of last month. This is an increase of about 50 trillion won compared to the end of October (approximately 65 trillion won).

In particular, there is analysis that optimism is gaining momentum as Donald Trump, the president-elect, won the presidential election. Previously, Trump, who referred to himself as the 'Virtual Asset President,' proposed a strategic Bitcoin (BTC) reserve plan for the United States. He also declared that he would foster the virtual asset industry.

The BTC price is trading at $15,141, up 3.05% from the previous day, based on the Binance USDT market at 15:17 today.
