Upbit’s trading volume climbed 78.3% over the 24 hours through Oct. 15 to $1.21 billion, while XRP/KRW led the exchange’s Korean won market with 11.1% of its volume.

Bitcoin (BTC), WAL, Ether (ETH) and Tether (USDT) followed XRP among the five leading assets by trading volume on the South Korean crypto exchange.

A sharp selloff in South Korean equities also marked Oct. 15. The KOSPI closed 7.56% lower at 5,554.27 after falling more than 9% intraday. Financial regulators held an emergency meeting on the stock market in the afternoon, after which losses narrowed.
