South Korea proposes delaying 22% crypto gains tax to 2029

South Korea has proposed postponing its 22% tax on crypto gains until 2029, pushing back a levy that had been set to hit investors sooner. The delay is framed as a way to lift investor confidence and create a friendlier regulatory climate for crypto in one of Asia's largest retail markets. A later tax start removes a near-term selling or reporting overhang for Korean traders, a modest positive for sentiment though not a direct price catalyst.
