Just came across something interesting about Korea's housing market. Apparently, the government started tracking cryptocurrency sales proceeds separately this year, and between mid-February and late March, over 324 homebuyers declared they were using crypto profits to buy property. The numbers are pretty telling - people in their 30s made up 71% of those declaring crypto funds, and they accounted for about 10.3 billion won in declared crypto sales for housing purchases. That's roughly $7.4 million from just one age group in that timeframe. What's wild is that while this Korea housing market trend is getting attention, the actual proportion of crypto funds in total home purchases is still tiny at 0.1%. Still, it shows how crypto gains are starting to flow into traditional real estate. Worth watching how this develops in Korea's housing market.
