Asian Crypto Markets Outpace U.S. and EU in Returns
- The Asian session recorded a cumulative return of approximately 47% over the past year, surpassing the U.S. at around 31% and the EU at roughly 29%.
- A significant factor for this growth is a reported increase in APAC trading volumes by about $2.36 trillion, attributed to regulatory clarity in Hong Kong.
- The Kimchi premium has remained positive, indicating higher prices for Bitcoin on South Korean exchanges compared to global platforms like Binance.
Despite strong performance from Asian markets driven by retail activity, analysts highlight that institutional flows in the U.S. continue to play a crucial role in shaping market cycles.
The Asian session’s dominance reflects increased trading volumes and speculative activity, but experts suggest it won’t significantly alter long-term institutional investment trends globally. (Source)
