Two regulatory updates, both pointing toward “slowing things down and settling the details.” South Korea: According to reports on October 25, the presidential office supports postponing once again the cryptocurrency income tax, originally scheduled to take effect in January 2027, citing insufficient preparation and difficulty accessing overseas transaction data. Under the current framework, a combined 22% tax applies to annual gains above 2.5 million won. The ruling party has proposed delaying it until 2029, but this would require an amendment by the National Assembly; until then, the statutory start date remains January 2027. United States: Senator Lummis disclosed on October 25 that negotiators on the CLARITY Act have agreed to lower the annual fundraising cap under “Regulation Crypto” from $75 million to $50 million and add a $200 million lifetime cap, at the request of Democrats. For project teams, if the bill is ultimately passed, the scope for compliant fundraising will be tighter than under the previous draft. Neither matter has been finalized, so both are worth following closely.
