From Tesla to Tokens 💹

[kevin1]

Korean retail investors are redirecting capital into crypto stocks and ETFs.

By mid-2025, they had invested $12B+ into US-listed crypto firms.
In August alone:

$426M → Bitmine Immersion Technologies (ETH-linked mining)

$226M → Circle (USDC issuer)

$183M → Coinbase

$282M → 2x Leveraged Ether ETF

This isn’t just speculation — it’s a structural pivot.

Korean “fearless retail” is:

Rebalancing away from old tech like Tesla

🪙 Betting on crypto firms as the next growth wave

Driving global liquidity in US crypto equities

Did you know? Nearly 1 in 5 South Koreans now owns crypto, with adoption climbing to 25% among 20–50-year-olds.
