South Korea Punts Its Crypto Tax All the Way to 2029
South Korea is hitting pause on taxing crypto gains until 2029, according to WatcherGuru. That's another delay for a levy that has spent years stuck on the runway, and it hands Korean traders a longer window before the taxman comes knocking.
South Korea just kicked its crypto tax down the road again — this time to 2029. The news landed via @WatcherGuru on X, with the outlet reporting the delay as a JUST IN alert.
That means crypto gains in the country stay untaxed under this plan for years longer than anyone tracking the policy had penciled in. Traders in one of the world's most crypto-obsessed markets keep their tax-free runway.
The move keeps South Korea in line with a pattern it knows well: this tax has been pushed back repeatedly rather than launched. Each delay buys the market more time and spares holders an immediate hit on their gains.
For crypto desks and Korean exchanges, the takeaway is simple — no new tax paperwork, no new bill, not yet. What happens next is whether Seoul sticks to 2029 or slides the date again.
Paparazzi will keep watching for the fine print, including exactly which gains the levy would eventually cover.
