Data from South Korea's Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport reveals that between February 10 and March 31, 324 homebuyers declared the use of funds from cryptocurrency sales in their housing acquisition plans. Among them, individuals aged 30 to 39 accounted for 229, representing 70.7% of the total. In terms of amount, those in their 30s declared cryptocurrency sales funds totaling 10.31 billion Korean won (approximately $7.4 million) for home purchases, the highest among all age groups. However, the proportion of cryptocurrency sales funds in their total home purchase funds remains limited at just 0.1%.
