South Korea has taken cryptocurrencies seriously, with a clear system in place to protect investors and regulate the market. Here are the most important things you need to know:

- They have a new law regulating trading platforms and require strict conditions from them.

- They do not allow trading without identification; every account must be linked to your real name.

- A 20% tax on profits will be applied starting next year.

- There is a tax exemption if your profits are less than about two thousand dollars annually.

- They have strict rules to protect people from fraud and scams.

- They restrict leveraged trading to prevent people from losing their money quickly.

- They have specific conditions for stablecoins; they do not accept just any one.

- They are currently working on their official digital currency issued by the central bank.

Last advice: If you trade with them, only use licensed and approved platforms to ensure your rights.
