Bithumb Seeks $201M in Lost Crypto; Upbit Dominates Korean Youth
Bithumb’s Dormant Asset Recovery Campaign
South Korea’s leading cryptocurrency exchange, Bithumb, has announced the launch of its third annual dormant asset recovery campaign. The campaign aims to reclaim unclaimed cryptocurrency holdings on the platform, which have decreased to 291.6 billion won ($201 million). This represents a 34% decrease from last year’s 443.5 billion won ($306 million).
Decline in Unclaimed Holdings
The decline in unclaimed holdings can be attributed to the success of Bithumb’s previous campaigns, which encouraged customers to reclaim their dormant assets. In the previous year’s campaign, approximately 36,000 customers reclaimed a combined 70.6 billion won ($49 million). This effort has led to a significant reduction in unclaimed holdings, demonstrating the effectiveness of the campaign.
Upbit Dominates Korean Youth
Meanwhile, Upbit, another major cryptocurrency exchange in South Korea, has been dominating the Korean youth in terms of cryptocurrency adoption and usage. Upbit’s user-friendly interface and innovative features have made it a popular choice among young Koreans, who are increasingly interested in cryptocurrency trading and investment.
The competition between Bithumb and Upbit is expected to intensify, with both exchanges vying for market share in the rapidly growing Korean cryptocurrency market. As the demand for cryptocurrencies continues to grow, it is essential for exchanges to prioritize user experience, security, and innovation to remain competitive.
