South Korea Officials Lean Toward Delaying Crypto Tax Until 2029

The signal here is less about the tax itself than about how long South Korea's policy uncertainty is being allowed to run. A delay to 2029 would push the country's framework well beyond the timeline many other jurisdictions have set, which matters for domestic exchanges and for issuers weighing Korean market access. The open question is whether the late-November or early-December decision confirms the delay or leaves it unresolved again — repeated deferrals would say more about political caution than about the tax's design.
