数据显示，与加密货币投资者大多是没有稳定收入的年轻人的普遍看法相反，首尔南部富裕的江南区的居民和拥有稳定政府工作的人对虚拟货币最感兴趣。

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.

根据移动数据分析平台 IGA Works 的数据，居住在首尔南部江南区的人和为政府工作的人对加密货币表现出最大的兴趣。

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.

该平台的分析发现，大约 760 万韩国人正在使用与加密货币相关的应用程序。这些应用程序包括Upbit和Bithumb等国内虚拟交易所的应用程序、Binance等海外交易所的应用程序和Coinness等加密货币社区应用程序，以及硬币投资者可能使用的任何其他应用程序。

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.

这 760 万个数字与提交给主要反对党韩国民主党众议员安道杰 (Ahn Do-geol) 的金融监督院 (FSS) 数据类似，该数据显示 Upbit 和 Bithumb 约有 770 万个账户处于活跃状态。

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 的数据显示，江南区约有 34 万人正在使用加密货币相关应用程序，该区共有 562,000 名居民。在邻近的瑞草区（也被称为富裕地区），类似应用程序的用户总数达到 22 万。这占该地区 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.

分析显示，主要投资房地产和股票的富裕地区居民也对加密货币感兴趣。

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.

还值得注意的是，政府工作人员对加密货币感兴趣。在硬币相关应用程序用户中，政府工作人员总数为 46 万人。这意味着估计有十分之四的政府工作人员正在投资加密货币。虽然他们不会被禁止进行此类投资，除非他们的工作使他们能够获得与加密货币相关的信息，或者他们可以因工作而施加影响，但较高级别的政府官员必须报告他们的加密货币投资。

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.

投资者大多在40多岁，总计220万，或30多岁，总计200万。 20多岁的投资者数量为160万。

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 还发现，持有超过 10 亿韩元（716,000 美元）加密货币的人中，34.5% 的人年龄在 40 多岁，尽管这些大额投资仅占所有加密货币账户的 0.04%。
