Investors in Korea's cryptocurrency market have crossed the 15 million mark for the first time, sparked by the U.S. presidential election, data showed Wednesday.

週三的數據顯示，受美國總統大選的影響，韓國加密貨幣市場的投資者首次突破 1,500 萬大關。

The number of cryptocurrency investors reached 15.59 million as of November, up 610,000 from the previous month, according to the Bank of Korea (BOK). The figure represents roughly 30 percent of Korea's entire population.

根據韓國央行 (BOK) 的數據，截至 11 月，加密貨幣投資者數量達到 1,559 萬人，較上季增加 61 萬人。這個數字約佔韓國總人口的 30%。

Starting in July, the number of investors has risen steadily, with an average increase of about 100,000 each month. However, following Donald Trump's presidential election victory, market optimism sent Bitcoin prices to an all-time high, leading to a significant spike in new investors.

從7月開始，投資者數量穩定上升，平均每月增加10萬人左右。然而，隨著唐納德·川普贏得總統選舉，市場樂觀情緒將比特幣價格推至歷史新高，導致新投資者大幅增加。

The data was obtained and published by Rep. Lim Kwang-hyun from the main opposition Democratic Party of Korea. Notably, this marks the first time the BOK has released figures related to cryptocurrency investors.

該數據由主要反對黨韓國民主黨眾議員林光賢獲得並公佈。值得注意的是，這標誌著韓國央行首次發布與加密貨幣投資者相關的數據。

The statistics reflect the number of investors holding accounts at the five major domestic exchanges -- Upbit, Bithumb, Coinone, Korbit and GOPAX. However, the count may include duplicates, as individuals with accounts on multiple platforms are tallied separately.

統計數據反映了在國內五家主要交易所——Upbit、Bithumb、Coinone、Korbit和GOPAX持有帳戶的投資者數量。但是，計數可能包括重複項，因為在多個平台上擁有帳戶的個人是單獨統計的。

What's notable is that the scale of cryptocurrency transactions has also grown to rival that of the domestic stock market.

值得注意的是，加密貨幣交易規模也已成長到與國內股票市場相提並論。

In November, the average daily transaction volume of domestic cryptocurrencies reached 14.9 trillion won ($10.2 billion), nearly matching the combined transaction volume of the benchmark KOSPI at 9.9 trillion won and the secondary Kosdaq at 6.9 trillion won.

11 月，國內加密貨幣日均交易量達到 14.9 兆韓元（102 億美元），幾乎相當於基準 KOSPI 9.9 兆韓元和二級科斯達克 6.9 兆韓元交易量的總和。

This led the total market value of cryptocurrencies held by Korean investors to reach 102.6 trillion won in November, a 76.9 percent increase compared to the previous month. Additionally, idle funds waiting to be invested on exchanges, or deposits, amounted to 8.8 trillion won during the same period.

這使得11月份韓國投資​​者持有的加密貨幣總市值達到102.6兆韓元，季增76.9%。此外，同期等待投資交易所或存款的閒置資金達 8.8 兆韓元。

"The scale of cryptocurrency transaction is growing so rapidly that it now rivals the stock market," Lim said. "At a pangovernmental level, we need to take thorough measures to enhance the stability of the crypto market and establish sound trading practices that protect investors' rights."

「加密貨幣交易規模成長如此之快，現在可以與股票市場相媲美，」林說。 “在泛政府層面，我們需要採取徹底措施，增強加密貨幣市場的穩定性，並建立健全的交易慣例，保護投資者的權利。”
