Korea just ranked second worldwide in per-capita crypto holdings, and a proposed tax could push investors offshore.
Individual Korean investors hold about 117 trillion won, roughly 86 billion dollars, in crypto assets, placing Korea second globally on a leading adoption index. Industry groups are warning that a proposed capital gains tax rate near 22% could trigger a shift to overseas exchanges. Separately, newlywed couples will see the marriage penalty removed from state-backed housing loans starting next month, with the income cap set at 70 million won. Together, the stories show regulators navigating both a booming crypto market and housing policy reform.
