South Korean Traders Fuel Bitcoin SV Demand

The Bitcoin SV price has been propelled by its unwavering demand in the crypto space. In the last 24 hours, the BSV trade volume skyrocketed by a whopping 615.98%, clocking trades worth over $612.40 million. However, the most notable development was that the demand was mostly fuelled by South Korean traders.

According to CoinGecko statistics, Upbit, a leading crypto exchange in South Korea, accounted for $513.81 million worth of BSV trades in the past 24 hours. It holds a massive share of 67.25% in the trade volume. This implies that BSV has caught the interest of South Korean investors.

Recently, South Korea decided to devise a crypto regulation framework to curb illegal activities in the domain. In addition, in a December 27 update, it was revealed that the country made it compulsory for public officials to report their crypto assets, making a significant move towards regulating the domain. These developments could have attracted investors’ attention since a regulated domain provides a sense of security.
