◇ Special sale effect, K-Bank received for low-priced purchase of virtual assets

Last month, K-Bank had a special sale of 100,000 units of savings products with an annual interest rate of 5% on two occasions.
In addition, as the virtual asset market recently plummeted, some analysts say that standby funds flowed into K-Bank, a partnership with Upbit, a virtual asset exchange.
A K-Bank official said, “As Bitcoin recently plunged in the 25 million won range, it is estimated that a considerable amount of waiting funds to buy at low prices have flowed in.”
Meanwhile, Kakao Bank’s receipt balance at the end of June was 3310.8 trillion won, an exceptionally lower 198.9 billion won from the previous month. It is interpreted that some funds have escaped from the recent banknotes of special sale products.
Regarding the reason for the decrease in deposits, a Kakao Bank official said, “Lower-cost deposits such as demand deposits have been steadily increasing due to the increase in the number of customers and traffic (customer activity), but the total balance of deposits has decreased slightly as competition for savings deposits from all banks has intensified recently. “He said.
