數據顯示，與加密貨幣投資者大多是沒有穩定收入的年輕人的普遍看法相反，首爾南部富裕的江南區的居民和擁有穩定政府工作的人對虛擬貨幣最感興趣。

People who live in Gangnam District, southern Seoul, and those who work for the government are showing the most interest in cryptocurrency, according to mobile data analysis platform IGA Works.

根據行動數據分析平台 IGA Works 的數據，居住在首爾南部江南區的人和為政府工作的人對加密貨幣表現出最大的興趣。

The platform's analysis found that around 7.6 million Koreans are using apps related to cryptocurrency. These apps include those for domestic virtual exchanges like Upbit and Bithumb, overseas exchanges like Binance and cryptocurrency community apps like Coinness, as well as any other apps that coin investors are likely to use.

該平台的分析發現，大約 760 萬韓國人正在使用與加密貨幣相關的應用程式。這些應用程式包括Upbit和Bithumb等國內虛擬交易所的應用程式、Binance等海外交易所的應用程式和Coinness等加密貨幣社群應用程序，以及硬幣投資者可能使用的任何其他應用程式。

The 7.6 million figure is similar to the Financial Supervisory Service (FSS) data submitted to Rep. Ahn Do-geol of the main opposition Democratic Party of Korea, which showed around 7.7 million of the accounts at Upbit and Bithumb are active.

這 760 萬個數字與提交給主要反對黨韓國民主黨眾議員安道傑 (Ahn Do-geol) 的金融監督院 (FSS) 數據類似，該數據顯示 Upbit 和 Bithumb 約有 770 萬個帳戶處於活躍狀態。

According to IGA Works, around 340,000 people are using cryptocurrency-related apps in Gangnam District, which has a total of 562,000 residents. The number of similar app users totaled 220,000 in neighboring Seocho District, also known as an affluent area. That is more than half the district’s 412,000 residents.

IGA Works 的數據顯示，江南區約有 34 萬人使用加密貨幣相關應用程序，該區共有 562,000 名居民。在鄰近的瑞草區（也被稱為富裕地區），類似應用程式的用戶總數達到 22 萬。這佔該地區 412,000 名居民的一半以上。

The analysis showed that residents of the affluent districts, who have been mostly investing in real estate and stocks, are interested in cryptocurrency as well.

分析顯示，主要投資房地產和股票的富裕地區居民也對加密貨幣感興趣。

It is also notable that government workers are interested in cryptocurrency. Among the coin-related app users, government workers totaled 460,000. This means four out of 10 government workers are estimated to be investing in cryptocurrency. While they are not banned from such investments unless their job gives them access to cryptocurrency-related information or they can exercise influence due to their job, government officials in higher ranks are required to report their cryptocurrency investments.

還值得注意的是，政府工作人員對加密貨幣感興趣。在硬幣相關應用程式用戶中，政府工作人員總數為 46 萬人。這意味著估計有十分之四的政府工作人員正在投資加密貨幣。雖然他們不會被禁止進行此類投資，除非他們的工作使他們能夠獲得與加密貨幣相關的信息，或者他們可以因工作而施加影響，但較高級別的政府官員必須報告他們的加密貨幣投資。

The investors were mostly in their 40s, totaling 2.2 million, or 30s totaling 2 million. The number of investors in their 20s stood at 1.6 million.

投資人大多在40多歲，總計220萬，或30多歲，總計200萬。 20多歲的投資者數量為160萬人。

The FSS also found that 34.5 percent of those holding over 1 billion won ($716,000) in cryptocurrency are in their 40s, though these large investments represent only 0.04 percent of all cryptocurrency accounts.

FSS 還發現，持有超過 10 億韓元（716,000 美元）加密貨幣的人中，34.5% 的人年齡在 40 多歲，儘管這些大筆投資僅佔所有加密貨幣帳戶的 0.04%。
