#SouthKoreaCryptoPolicy South Korea is one of the most active crypto markets in Asia — but the government is very serious about regulating digital assets. Here are some key points about South Korea's crypto policy:
All local exchanges must be officially registered and partner with banks for real-name account verification.
A 22% crypto tax on profits over 2.5 million KRW (~$1,900) is planned, although its implementation has been delayed.
Strict enforcement of AML (Anti-Money Laundering) and KYC (Know Your Customer).
Crackdown on illegal crypto projects and scams.
These measures aim to protect retail investors, maintain market stability, and support a healthy crypto ecosystem.
