Recently, I noticed a particularly interesting phenomenon—the Korea KOSPI index just hit a new all-time high, and the Japanese stock market is also rallying. Some friends are analyzing: will the money earned by these Korean and Japanese investors flow into the crypto market?



This speculation is not unfounded. Korea itself has about 10 million crypto investors, who are the main force in the crypto space. A few years ago, due to regulatory pressure, approximately $110 billion in funds flowed to overseas platforms. Now that the domestic stock market is highly profitable, these players have idle funds and naturally seek more flexible investment options—the crypto market perfectly meets this demand.

Japan’s situation is even more noteworthy. Historically, some listed companies have emulated MSTR’s strategic approach by increasing their BTC holdings, which caused their stock prices to surge by 4000%. If investors see such cases and consider current profit-taking opportunities, they are very likely to want to participate as well.

From a historical perspective, whenever capital flows out of Korean and Japanese stock markets, the crypto market—especially core assets like BTC and BNB—often receives incremental capital injections. Could this time follow the same logic? It’s worth observing.

Koreans will really rush in, but it feels like this time is uncertain. That 4000% in Japan is indeed tempting, but they probably don't have that much guts. 10 million crypto investors—if they all start moving... I don't believe it. The positive news has already been pumped up, and now most are entering the market to buy in. Wait, the stock market hits a new high and then people want to run away? Don't be fooled.

The number of 10 million investors in Korea is no joke. When the time comes, capital overflow will definitely flow into cryptocurrencies.

Koreans are truly amazing; 10 million investors have directly stirred up the crypto world into a storm. Over in Japan, a 4000% increase—this wave definitely deserves attention. Profit-taking in the stock market to secure gains, then turning around to pour into crypto—it's a cycle of making money. Really, this logic makes perfect sense; big funds will always find more aggressive places to invest. Can BTC and BNB ride this wave of benefits? There's no stopping them.

10 million players in Korea with idle funds, it will only be interesting if they come in this time.

The Koreans are probably about to jump in this time; a market of 10 million people is not small.

South Korea's 10 million players, are they really coming in this time? --- That 4000% case in Japan, who would believe it if I said it now? --- Wait, $110 billion flowing overseas, so now they want to bring it back? That's a bit far-fetched. --- Binding directly to crypto just because KOSPI hits a new high? That logic is a bit weak. --- Basically, they just want to copy the MSTR model, but it's not that easy. --- South Korean players' money has already been playing on overseas platforms, nothing new. --- Can BTC and BNB really absorb this wave of spillover funds? Not so sure. --- Taking profits and then going all-in on crypto? That's a pretty aggressive mindset.

Koreans really aren't playing, with a base of 10 million investors sitting right there.
