According to BlockBeats, Iranian cryptocurrency exchange Nobitex has announced progress in handling a recent security incident. The platform has begun reopening user wallets in phases, starting with verified users and initially focusing on spot wallets. Access will later extend to other wallet types, with users required to complete identity verification. Nobitex will gradually display wallet balances as part of this process. Previously, Nobitex was targeted by the pro-Israel hacker group 'Gonjeshke Darande,' also known as 'Predatory Sparrow,' resulting in an estimated loss of around $100 million.

According to Cointelegraph, a recent report by the Hana Institute of Finance reveals that over 25% of South Koreans aged 20 to 50 now own digital assets, with these investments comprising 14% of their total financial portfolios. The study, titled '2050 Generation’s Virtual Asset Investment Trends,' highlights a widespread interest in cryptocurrency across various age groups. Individuals in their 40s lead the participation rate at 31%, followed by those in their 30s at 28%, and those in their 50s at 25%. The report indicates that 78% of respondents in their 50s view cryptocurrency as a means to accumulate wealth, while 53% are using it to prepare for retirement. The motivations for investing in crypto have shifted towards growth potential, diversification, and structured savings plans. Additionally, 70% of respondents expressed a desire to expand their crypto investments in the future. A significant portion, 42%, stated they would increase their investments if traditional financial institutions played a larger role in the crypto markets, and 35% cited stronger legal protections as crucial for boosting their confidence. Investment patterns among Korean crypto investors are evolving, with a notable increase in regular purchases from 10% to 34% and mid-term trading from 26% to 47%, while short-term trading has seen a slight decline. The way investors gather information is also changing, with a decrease in reliance on word-of-mouth and an increase in the use of official exchanges and analytical platforms. Bitcoin remains the primary choice for investors, with six out of ten including it in their portfolios. However, as investors gain more experience, many are diversifying into altcoins or stablecoins. Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and security tokens (STOs) remain niche, with the majority of investors focusing solely on coins. Yoon Sun-young, a researcher at Hana Financial Research Institute, emphasized the significant role virtual assets play in investors' portfolios and the expectation for legal institutionalization and the expansion of the existing financial sector's role. A major concern for investors is the restriction on linking multiple bank accounts with crypto exchanges, with seven out of ten expressing a preference for their primary bank if this rule were relaxed. Market volatility remains a widespread concern, affecting 56% of investors, while worries about exchange or fraud risks are more pronounced among those hesitant to invest further. Eli Ilha Yune, chief product officer at Anzaetek, highlighted during German Blockchain Week that the surge in South Korea's crypto adoption is driven by financial desperation rather than optimism about blockchain technology. Youth unemployment, at 6.6%, more than double the national average, is a key factor. South Korea's once high-growth economy has stalled, leaving many young people jobless and unable to afford real estate or see meaningful returns from traditional investments like stocks. Amid this economic pressure, crypto has emerged as the only viable investment option for Korea’s younger generation, although many are unaware of its underlying infrastructure.

According to the latest report from Hana Financial Research Institute, 27% of Koreans aged 20 to 50 hold crypto assets, accounting for an average of 14% of their financial assets. Among them, the 40-year-old group has the highest holding ratio, reaching 31%. 70% of respondents plan to further increase their investment in the future, mainly due to growth potential, asset diversification and optimization of savings structure. The study also pointed out that Korean investors are shifting from short-term speculation to fixed investment and medium-term holdings, and are more dependent on formal platforms for obtaining information. Although market volatility is still a major concern, young people have regarded crypto assets as their main investment outlet due to employment and real estate pressures. (Cointelegraph)
