Stablecoins have been flowing out of South Korean exchanges for 18 consecutive months as regulators weigh tighter oversight of cross-border crypto activity. South Korea saw 560.3 billion won ($367 million) in stablecoin outflows to overseas exchanges in June, extending the country’s streak of monthly net stablecoin outflows to 18 consecutive months.  The figure comes from Financial Supervisory Service (FSS) data obtained by Yonhap News Agency through People Power Party lawmaker Lee Jong-wook.
