🚨 BREAKING: South Korea Pushes Its 22% Crypto Tax to 2029, Fourth Delay in a Row! 🇰🇷
$BTC $ETH $SOL crypto
Seoul has proposed pushing its 22% crypto gains tax from January 2027 to 2029. This would be the fourth delay since the law was first introduced.
What's in the proposal:
✅ Tax applies only to annual profits above 2.5 million won (about 1,870 USD)
✅ A new three-year loss carryforward for traders
My take:
The extra time helps South Korea build its regulatory framework and prepare for cross-border data sharing. Less tax pressure also means less forced selling from Korean retail in the short term.
Market check:
BTC is down 5.36%, ETH 7.45% and SOL 6.90%. Good regulatory news is being overpowered by risk-off sentiment, so a quick pump from this headline alone is unlikely.
Outlook:
The tax is delayed, not cancelled. The National Assembly still has to pass the amendment before January. Clear rules and loss offsets would make the market fairer for traders in the long run.
