Korea’s Stablecoin Exodus Just Hit 18 Straight Months and $10.4 BillionEnglish 한국어日本語ไทย繁體中文ItalianoPortuguêsDeutschEspañolFrançaisSouth Korean investors transferred ₩2.76 trillion ($1.81 billion) in stablecoins to overseas exchanges in June 2026 alone, according to Financial Supervisory Service data submitted to the National Assembly. Only ₩2.20 trillion ($1.44 billion) came back, leaving a net outflow of ₩560.3 billion ($367 million) and extending an unbroken streak to 18 consecutive months. The cumulative net outflow now stands at approximately ₩14.92 trillion ($10.4 billion), a figure that rivals the total value of Korean investors’ overseas equity purchases over the same period. Domestic Exchanges Cannot Offer What Traders WantThe transfers are “believed to be used mainly for derivatives trading not available on domestic exchanges,” the FSS submission stated. Until Korean exchanges can legally offer the products that drive the outflows, the 18-month streak has no obvious reason to stop.
