South Korea weighs delaying crypto income tax to 2029 over US data concerns

South Korean lawmakers are reportedly considering pushing back the implementation of a crypto income tax policy first introduced in 2020 to as late as 2029. The delay is being weighed over concerns about receiving data from US officials. A further postponement would extend the tax-free status of digital asset gains in a major retail crypto market, though the story is procedural and lacks a confirmed decision.
