🇰🇷 South Korea’s ruling party proposes to delay crypto tax to 2028
If the new proposal is approved, implementing crypto gains tax in the country will be delayed by nearly seven years from its original schedule.
In South Korea, investors must pay a 20% capital gains tax if their annual crypto gains exceed 2.5 million won (approximately $1,800). This threshold is significantly lower than that for stocks, where only gains exceeding 50 million won (about $36,000) are subject to taxation.
📈 NEW: Bitcoin and Ether led a record $17.8 billion inflow into digital asset investment products year-to-date, signaling a potential crypto market recovery.

The inflows were primarily driven by US investors, with notable contributions from Switzerland, Hong Kong, and Canada.
