Why are Bitcoin whales in Korea selling? By Cointelegraph



Another $84M deposit begs the question: Why are Bitcoin whales in Korea selling?

(BTC) whales in South Korea have been selling heavily across major exchanges throughout the past week. Data shows that multiple $100 million deposits to Bithumb have been spotted in the last three days alone.

By volume, South Korea has a much smaller cryptocurrency exchange market compared to the United States. Yet, South Korea’s cryptocurrency exchanges have seen massive inflows that are comparable with other major markets.
