Korea's crypto tax faces fourth delay amid pressure

South Korea's tax on cryptocurrency gains, set to take effect in January, may be postponed for a fourth time as the government turns cautious amid calls from investors, industry and lawmakers, the Korea Times reports. The Bank of Korea is separately pushing for monthly reporting of domestic virtual asset balances for users with overseas transfer histories, sparking controversy, according to Business Korea. The Hankyung notes that 48 countries already levy virtual asset taxes, while Korea appears ready to delay again under public pressure.
