Korea proposes incentives for local exchanges ahead of crypto tax
- —Korea's digital asset tax takes effect on January 1, 2027, after three delays
- —20% rate on income above 2.5 million won a year, or 22% with the local tax
- —NABO proposes incentives for trading on local exchanges, following Japan's example
- —CARF: Korea will start data exchanges in 2027, while the U.S. only from 2029
Why it matters: Korea is building infrastructure for crypto taxation, which could change trader behavior and volumes on local exchanges.
