South Korea's ruling party sees growing support for crypto tax delay

  • Park Min-kyu backs delaying the digital asset tax from January 2027
  • He cites the missing Digital Asset Basic Act and unclear cost-basis rules
  • Taxing before CARF launches would disadvantage local exchange users
  • Taxing only crypto after the financial investment income tax repeal is unfair
Why it matters: A delay would ease pressure on Korean exchanges and investors but slow the market's institutionalization.
