Korea's crypto tax faces likely fourth delay

Korea's tax on cryptocurrency gains, scheduled to take effect in January, could face a fourth postponement as the government turns cautious amid mounting calls for a delay from investors, the industry and lawmakers, the Korea Times reports. The planned levy is due to begin on Jan. 1, according to a Yonhap editorial, but the government's low approval ratings are cited as a factor in the cautious approach. Korean investors and industry voices are pushing for the delay, though the documents do not detail specific reactions from bloggers or café members.
