It added that the corporate crypto holdings worth 120 trillion won would be market price created artificially through high-price trading.<blockquote>&ldquo;Even if the actual value of the corporation&rsquo;s overseas coin holdings is one-tenth of the reported amount, the figure is 12 trillion won. It will never be possible to ignore.&rdquo;</blockquote><h2 style="text-align:justify;" id="market-participants-head-overseas">Market Participants Head Overseas</h2>The analysis by the research center further said that regulatory restrictions on the business scope of domestic companies to spot transactions and strictly control derivatives have resulted in market participants heading overseas.As a result, individuals also pivot to overseas businesses in search of services that meet their needs, Korbit Research added.<blockquote>&ldquo;No matter how conservatively we look at the size of assets seeking needs that cannot be met domestically, the minimum is 10 trillion won, which can also be seen as a &lsquo;national wealth outflow&rsquo; due to irrational regulations.&rdquo;</blockquote>Additionally, domestic investors storing crypto assets in overseas accounts could be due to possible tax evasion, the research predicts. However, there are questions whether they would voluntarily report their holdings to the National Tax Service.
