[South Korean Stablecoins Record Net Outflow Overseas for 18 Consecutive Months, with a Net Outflow of 560.3 Billion KRW in June] BlockBeats News, August 2: According to a report by Yonhap News Agency, data from the Financial Supervisory Service of South Korea shows that in June 2026, the five major cryptocurrency exchanges in South Korea transferred 2.7625 trillion KRW worth of stablecoins to overseas exchanges, while receiving 2.2022 trillion KRW in return, resulting in a net outflow of 560.3 billion KRW. During the same period, South Korean investors recorded a net purchase of approximately 722 billion KRW in overseas stocks, with the stablecoin net outflow amounting to 77.6% of that figure. From January 2025 to June 2026, South Korean stablecoins have consistently recorded net outflows overseas for 18 consecutive months. In the second quarter of this year alone, stablecoin net outflows reached 1.6872 trillion KRW, while overseas stock net sales during the same period amounted to 1.6185 trillion KRW. The stablecoins in question are primarily used for trading overseas derivatives that are not available on domestic South Korean trading platforms. Some overseas platforms have recently launched spot and futures products for South Korean stocks such as Samsung Electronics, SK Hynix, and Hyundai Motor, offering leverage of up to several dozen times. Additionally, RWA, DeFi, and staking services have also attracted capital to flow overseas. South Korean lawmaker Lee Jong-wook stated that as funds continue to shift overseas, investors are increasingly exposed to high-risk derivatives. He emphasized that the government should reassess its investor protection and management systems and expedite regulatory reforms. [Original Article Link]
