Korea's Trading Frenzy Drives XRP to Top Spot
XRP trading volume on UpBit has surpassed major global exchanges by 24-hour turnover, accounting for 15.55% of all activity on the platform.
The surge in XRP/KRW pair trading volume has pushed daily turnover past $225 million, driven in part by regulatory nuances that limit traders' options.
South Korean traders are prohibited from betting on cryptocurrencies with leverage, making low-cost remittance altcoins like XRP attractive for day-traders who use quick-scalping methods.
