1. La Corée du Sud déploiera la taxation des actifs crypto comme prévu en 2027 lien Le vice-Premier ministre et ministre de l’Économie et des Finances de la Corée du Sud, Koo Yun-cheol, a déclaré que la taxation des actifs crypto en Corée du Sud sera mise en œuvre conformément au calendrier à partir de 2027, après l’expiration de la prolongation à la fin de cette année. Le gouvernement continuera d’évaluer et d’affiner les règles concernées pendant l’application. Il s’agit de la première annonce publique claire de Koo concernant le lancement d’une taxation crypto dans les délais. Des rapports indiquent qu’en vertu du cadre sud-coréen actuel, les investisseurs ne peuvent pas reporter les pertes liées aux actifs crypto afin de compenser des gains futurs, ce qui suscite des inquiétudes sur un traitement jugé injuste pour les investisseurs nationaux. Certains investisseurs pourraient se tourner vers des bourses étrangères, ce qui pourrait réduire les volumes de négociation et la compétitivité du marché local sud-coréen.
