Gains

South Korea’s cryptocurrency market is again at the center of legislative debate, as the right-wing People Power Party proposes a significant delay in the taxation of crypto gains. Originally slated for January 2025, this tax imposition may now be deferred until 2028 if the proposed bill passes through the National Assembly. 
The rationale behind this move stems from concerns over investor sentiment amidst current market conditions. The bill argues that taxing cryptocurrencies—a notably volatile asset class—could drive many investors away, particularly when sentiment towards digital assets is already cautious. 
This sentiment echoes previous delays in the implementation of a 20% tax on crypto gains, which has faced fierce opposition from both investors and industry experts.&nbsp; 
President Yoon Suk-yeol, <a href="https://likms.assembly.go.kr/bill/billDetail.do?billId=PRC_B2A4Y0Y7G1H2F1E4E3C1D0L0M1K9I8" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">affiliated</a> with the People Power Party, had promised during the last general election to advocate for such delays, aligning with the party’s stance on fostering a favorable environment for cryptocurrency trading. 
The Ministry of Economy and Finance, however, remains <a href="https://bloomingbit.io/feed/news/71586" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">cautious</a> and has not yet committed to further postponements. An announcement regarding potential amendments to this tax code is expected by the end of this month, indicating ongoing deliberations over the future taxation framework for digital assets in South Korea. 
South Korea, renowned for hosting one of the world’s largest and most active cryptocurrency markets, boasts significant participation, with approximately 6.5 million citizens engaging in crypto transactions—constituting about 12.5% of the population. Notably, the Korean won has surpassed the U.S. dollar as the most utilized fiat currency for crypto trading in early 2024, according to Kaiko data. 
As stakeholders await further developments from the government, the fate of crypto taxation in South Korea remains a pivotal issue influencing both local and global cryptocurrency markets.
