On South Korea's largest crypto exchange, Upbit, XRP's trading volume in KRW surpassed Bitcoin and Ethereum for two consecutive days, reaching $145.57 million on October 15, 2026. This surge followed regulatory actions blocking offshore exchanges, pushing traders towards domestic platforms and crypto assets like XRP. Despite high volume, XRP's price remained stable around $1.34 with no significant local premium, indicating balanced market conditions. This highlights XRP's strong liquidity in Korea but also signals potential risks if local regulations change, as Korea accounts for a large share of global XRP trading volume.
