Korean crypto asset gains have begun flowing into the real estate market, with buyers in their 30s accounting for over 70%

Odaily Odaily reports that after South Korea began separately listing virtual asset sale proceeds in housing financing plans this year, the inflow of cryptocurrency gains into the real estate market has been partially reflected.

Data from the South Korean Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport shows that from February 10 to March 31, a total of 324 homebuyers declared the use of crypto asset liquidation proceeds in their residential property purchase funding plans. Among them, 229 buyers were aged 30 to 39, accounting for approximately 70.7%. In terms of amount, this age group declared approximately 10.31 billion Korean won (about $7.4 million) in crypto asset sale proceeds for home purchases, the highest among all age groups.

However, these funds currently account for only about 0.1% of total home purchase funding, so the overall scale remains relatively limited.
