[코인 포트폴리오]② 빗썸 선택은 '리플·테더'…3대 자산 비중 57%

Bithumb's strategic portfolio rebalancing from Bitcoin-Ethereum focus toward Bitcoin-Tether-XRP reflects how major cryptocurrency exchanges are shifting from pure investment strategies to operational utility models. The exchange's asset base tripled to 279.3 billion won, driven entirely by quantity accumulation rather than market appreciation, indicating deliberate holdings to support business operations like stablecoin markets and lending services. This trend demonstrates the evolution of exchange business models and how institutional crypto infrastructure providers leverage their balance sheets as operational assets.
