[South Korea's Crypto Asset Tax May Face Fourth Delay, Implementation in 2027 in Doubt] South Korea's crypto asset taxation system, originally scheduled for implementation in 2027, may face its fourth delay due to gaps in core regulations. The Korea Capital Market Institute pointed out that the definitions of income from airdrops, lending, and staking remain unclear, and there is a lack of taxation basis for overseas transactions and P2P transactions. Industry insiders are calling for the prompt clarification of taxable subjects and methods, as well as the improvement of information tracking systems. As of the first half of 2025, the number of verified users on domestic virtual asset exchanges in South Korea has reached 10.77 million, a figure comparable to the 14.23 million stock market investors at the end of last year.
