South Korea Tightens Grip on Crypto Market

South Korea is ramping up cryptocurrency regulation to enhance transparency and protect investors—especially in the wake of major scandals like the Terra (LUNA) collapse.

⚖️ Key Changes Coming:

Crypto Tax (2025): 20% tax on annual gains over 2.5 million won (~$1,900).

Stricter KYC: Exchanges must enforce rigorous identity checks and report transaction data.

Tokenization & Stablecoins: New frameworks aim to legitimize tokenized securities and regulate stablecoins.

🎯 Goal: Integration, not prohibition—bringing crypto into the financial system while safeguarding user rights.

However, the tough stance raises concerns among startups and DeFi players, who fear innovation could be stifled.

💬 As one of Asia’s tech leaders, South Korea's regulatory model could influence policies across the region.
