According to a report by Jinse Finance, the latest survey from the Korea Institute of Finance shows that virtual asset investment in South Korea is shifting from speculation to strategic allocation. Among respondents aged 20 to 50, 27% hold crypto assets, accounting for 14% of their total financial assets. Of these investors, 90% hold cryptocurrencies, and 60% specifically choose Bitcoin as a core asset. On average, investors hold two types of cryptocurrencies, and their portfolios become more diversified as their experience grows. Notably, 53% of investors aged 50 consider cryptocurrencies as part of their retirement planning, and 79% of investors aim to "accumulate substantial wealth."

According to a report by Jinse Finance, Goldman Sachs' latest research indicates that if the Federal Reserve adopts a more dovish stance, four market scenarios may emerge: a purely dovish policy shock, declining growth expectations, coexistence of dovish policy and slowing growth, and dovish policy alongside rising growth. The analysis shows that falling U.S. Treasury yields, strengthening of the euro, yen, and Swiss franc, and rising gold prices are the most consistent trends across these scenarios, while the performance of U.S. stocks is highly dependent on growth prospects. The "dovish + rising growth" scenario is most favorable for risk assets, but if summer employment and inflation data deteriorate, growth concerns may resurface. The market has already begun to price in the Fed's easing policy, but future trends will be highly dependent on economic data.
