South Korea’s planned implementation of a cryptocurrency tax in January is facing mounting opposition from investors and lawmakers, who argue that taxing digital asset gains while stock market profits remain untaxed violates basic principles of fairness. The controversy, reported by The Hankyoreh, has reignited a broader debate about the country’s approach to taxing investment income.The central argument against the crypto tax is straightforward: if the government has abolished the Financial Investment Income Tax (FIIT) on stock market gains, it is inconsistent to proceed with a tax on virtual asset income. Critics say this creates an uneven playing field that unfairly targets cryptocurrency investors while protecting traditional stock traders. The government’s decision to scrap the stock tax was driven by concerns that it could cool down the stock market—a rationale that opponents say should apply equally to the crypto market.Oh Moon-seong, president of the Korean Tax Policy Association, has stated clearly that the two taxes must be discussed together for the sake of equity. He warned that implementing the crypto tax in isolation would inevitably provoke strong tax resistance from investors. Another tax expert, speaking on condition of anonymity, noted that with the virtual asset market currently in a poor condition, proceeding with the tax would likely lead to intense backlash. The expert suggested there is a significant possibility that both the government and the National Assembly will yield to pressure and postpone the tax once again.For South Korean crypto investors, the stakes are high. The planned tax would impose a 20% levy on annual gains exceeding 2.5 million won (approximately $1,900). If implemented, it would mark the first time the country directly taxes cryptocurrency trading profits at the individual l

As of May 2024, neither Sony Group, nor Ripple, nor the XRPL Foundation has made any statements about a partnership. And yes, the Japanese giant is implementing Web3 payments, but volatile third-party assets are not part of its plans.

Since December last year, Nikkei reports have shown that Sony Bank is working on a project to launch its own regulated stablecoin pegged to the U.S. dollar.
