#SouthKoreaLawmakerToDelayCryptoTaxTo2030 Yes — a South Korean lawmaker has reportedly proposed delaying the country’s crypto tax to January 1, 2030, but it is only a proposal for now, not the current law. Recent reporting says Rep. Jeong Seong-guk of the People Power Party plans to introduce an amendment to push the start date back three years, from January 1, 2027 to January 1, 2030. (en.bloomingbit.io) The date context is important here. As of August 10, 2026, South Korea’s current law still points to a January 1, 2027 start for taxing annual crypto gains above 2.5 million won, at a combined 22% rate. Yonhap’s August 3 summary of the 2026 tax revisions and CoinDesk’s late-July coverage both indicated the government had not yet moved that date to 2030. (en.yna.co.kr) So the clean takeaway is: Your tag is directionally accurate as a political development. But it should be read as “lawmaker proposes delay to 2030,” not “South Korea has delayed crypto tax to 2030.” (en.bloomingbit.io) Why markets may care: A delay could be viewed as short-term supportive for local retail sentiment in South Korea because it would postpone a new tax burden on crypto gains. This is an inference, not a guaranteed market outcome. (en.bloomingbit.io) At the same time, the broader policy picture is still evolving, with lawmakers and regulators also working on a more comprehensive digital-asset framework. (cointelegraph.com) So, as of Monday, August 10, 2026: proposal, yes; enacted delay, not yet.$BNB $ETH $XRP
