South Korea urged to pass digital asset law before crypto tax takes effect

  • —Kang: pass the basic law first, verify the system, then reset the tax start date
  • —He proposed five-year loss carryforwards and recognition of actual acquisition cost
  • —Rules needed for staking, airdrops and DeFi, plus data sharing with foreign exchanges
  • —Min: without foreign trade data, the tax burden would hit users of Korean exchanges
Why it matters: Any delay or reset of South Korea's crypto tax affects trading volumes on Upbit and Bithumb and investor planning.
