According to online reports, market observers have found that the investment behavior of South Korean investors is spreading from virtual currency to physical precious metals, and silver has become the latest speculative target for South Koreans. Data shows that 31% of office workers in South Korea hold virtual currency, of which 61% are aged 20-39. However, as South Korea includes the income from virtual currency transactions into the scope of personal tax, investment behavior has begun to change. Compared with gold, which has a higher unit price and is more difficult to purchase entities, silver futures only need a margin of 5%, which is much lower than stocks, and the fluctuation of 30% in a single day is also smaller than that of virtual currency.
