South Korea Crypto Market Driven by AI Frenzy

Key Summary

South Korean retail traders have driven a 12.3% growth in the country's crypto economy, with AI tokens becoming the top theme in won trading by June. Worldcoin (WLD) led the pack with $7.41 billion in trading volume, dwarfing other AI tokens and even the broader market. The demand has been fueled by high-risk, high-reward bets, with Korean banks and institutions remaining largely in pilot mode.
