According to Golden Finance, Story Protocol CEO Seung Yoon Lee posted a statement saying that in South Korea, cryptocurrencies are one of the few things that can bring the elderly and the young together.
According to statistics from South Korea's East Asia Daily, the age structure of cryptocurrency investors has changed significantly. Data shows that the number of investors in the 50-year-old group increased by 56.4% year-on-year to 1.75 million; the number of investors aged 60 and above increased from 371,800 to 636,700, an increase of 52.6%.
It is worth noting that nearly half of the group holding cryptocurrency assets exceeding 1 billion won (approximately "big whale" investors) are over 50 years old.
