South Korea, the birthplace of the "Kimchi Premium" and where one in three people is already playing with cryptocurrencies, is turning the world upside down with new rules that will change how we use $BTC, $ETH, and even the new star $WCT. If you know nothing about crypto, don't worry, I'll explain it easily: Seoul is gearing up for a revolution that could make (or lose) you money. What’s coming in 2025? Grab your coffee and read!
Crypto Taxes: Your Pocket Will Feel It (2028)
What’s happening: Starting January 2028, if you earn more than ₩50M (~$36K) with your cryptos, the government will charge you a 20% tax (plus a 2% local tax).
In simple terms: If you sell $BTC or $ETH and make a good profit, get ready to share with the tax authorities. But if your earnings are small, you are exempt.
Why it matters: Korea has 16 million crypto users (a third of the country!). This could cool the local market, but it will also make $BTC prices more stable on Binance.
