Virtual asset exchange Coinone is attracting attention by revealing the existence of an "investor with a 1,043% return" through its community data. This investor reportedly earned nearly 10 billion won in profits.

On January 14, Coinone released its "2025 Coinone Story," which analyzes customer activity data from the Coinone community between January 1 and December 31 of the previous year. The statistics are based on actual verified cases from investors.

The most notable highlight was the community's all-time highest profit verification case. One customer reportedly earned approximately 9.77 billion won in profits by investing in the virtual asset "SOON," achieving a return rate of 1,043%. This marks the highest profit ever verified in the Coinone community.

Last year, the most frequently mentioned asset in the Coinone community was XRP. There were 19,755 posts tagged with XRP, accounting for 12.8% of all posts. Notably, among posts verifying XRP trades, 82% were buy verifications, far exceeding sell verifications at 18%. Similarly, profit verification posts made up 67%, more than double the loss verification posts at 33%.

The majority of investments were made by small-scale investors. Of the 32,102 posts verifying trade history last year, 93% (29,877 posts) were for investments under 1 million won. While high-profit cases drew attention, it is small-scale investors who are driving participation in the community.

Meanwhile, the Coinone customer with the largest virtual asset holdings was found to have approximately 38.2 billion won in assets, solely in Bitcoin (BTC).

The Coinone community is the only dedicated virtual asset community service among domestic exchanges. Last year, the number of customers who checked in daily reached 4,452, nearly doubling from 2,935 the previous year.

A Coinone community representative said, "Last year, active participation from customers led to the accumulation of diverse investment cases and data," adding, "In 2026, we will continue to provide information and content to foster a healthy virtual asset investment culture."
