Bitcoin

A survey conducted by Korea Investment and Securities revealed that 40% of South Korean university students are investing in cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and overseas stocks. The observations were based on a survey conducted on over 400 university students between June 11 and June 22. 
The <a href="https://www.delighti.co.kr/news/articleView.html?idxno=82548" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">survey revealed</a> that 72% of respondents are involved in overseas stock investments, primarily focusing on NYSE-listed companies, with 89% aiming to diversify their NYSE portfolios soon; additionally, 87% plan to enter the market within the next year. 
In response to the question about the tokens they invested in, 40% of the respondents said that they invested in cryptocurrencies, and over half of them pointed to the high expected returns as the reason.&nbsp; 
However, the interest in other Asian stock markets is not very high; only 5% invest in Japan and 3% in China. This survey shows that young South Koreans are not very confident in their local stock market, and the reason they gave is that it is more volatile than foreign markets. 
The study also shows that the level of financial literacy among students is gradually growing, and more and more young people start investing early. More than half of the respondents said they started investing in the last three years, and many invested large amounts of money over $7,180. 
For instance, some students have incurred debt to fund their investment in stocks and cryptoassets, which shows the increasing financial gains and losses among the youths of South Korea. 
This survey reflects a more profound change in the financial attitudes of young South Koreans who are now more willing to invest in global markets and cryptocurrencies than in domestic ones. 
The survey shows that there is a shift in the investment pattern of South Korean university students towards diversified global investment including cryptocurrencies due to higher expected returns and perceived stability in overseas investment.
