#交易平台业务 South Korea's $110 billion assets "flee" overseas. What does this data reveal? It's essentially a vote on freedom.

When domestic trading platforms are restricted in leveraged trading, derivatives, and other products, users start to move outward. Overseas platforms like Binance and Bybit can offer more diverse trading tools and market mechanisms, while local Korean platforms such as Upbit and Bithumb face stagnating growth — this is not a coincidence; the market is speaking through actions.

More worth pondering is that this precisely validates the core value of Web3 and decentralization. When centralized restrictive policies emerge, capital and users flow to more open and freer places. This not only reflects investors' dissatisfaction but also a deeper pursuit of liquidity and autonomy.

South Korea's "Digital Asset Basic Act" has yet to be implemented, and the lag in regulatory framework is becoming a disadvantage for domestic platforms. In the long run, this dilemma offers us a lesson: a truly resilient financial system must be built on openness, transparency, and user control. That’s why I am confident in decentralized exchanges (DEX), cross-chain trading, and other decentralized trading methods — their inherent resistance to censorship and global accessibility may well be the future of trading.

The future is already here, just unevenly distributed. Places that actively embrace an open ecosystem will be more likely to seize opportunities in the Web3 era.
