#SouthKoreaCryptoPolicy South Korea Shakes the Crypto World! Ready for Chaos or Glory in 2025?

Crypto Taxes: Your Pocket Will Feel It (2028)
What’s happening: Starting January 2028, if you earn over ₩50M (~$36K) with your cryptos, the government will charge you a 20% tax (plus a 2% local tax).
In simple terms: If you sell $ETH and make a good chunk of change, be prepared to share with the taxman. But if your earnings are small, you’re exempt.
Why it matters: Korea has 16 million crypto users (a third of the country!). This could cool down the local market, but it will also make prices more stable on Binance.
