South Korea's largest cryptocurrency exchange, Upbit, has seen a significant surge in trading volume, reaching 11.2 trillion won, or approximately $8.35 billion, for the week. This represents a 6.74% increase from the previous week.

XRP took the top spot as the most actively traded asset on the platform, followed closely by Bitcoin and USDT. The surge in trading volume is attributed to renewed retail speculation and interest in XRP, which has been fueled by news-driven activity.

Upbit's scale and strong trust rating make its weekly trading figures a valuable gauge of retail crypto sentiment beyond South Korea's borders. The exchange's data reinforces the long-standing pattern of South Korean retail traders showing a strong appetite for XRP relative to other major markets.
