Not investment advice. Muhabbit scores how much a story may matter, not which way to trade.
South Korea’s ruling party leader has proposed delaying the planned 22% crypto gains tax, currently set to take effect on January 1, 2027, arguing that the sector’s legal framework should be completed first. The levy would apply to crypto trading gains above a certain threshold, though the article does not specify the exact deduction level. This marks another potential postponement of a tax that has already been deferred multiple times amid industry and investor pushback. The move matters because it signals continued policy uncertainty over how South Korea will tax digital assets despite tightening global regulatory standards. What to watch next is whether the proposal gains legislative traction and whether the government finalizes the broader crypto framework before the 2027 start date.
