South Korean Lawmakers Propose Bill To Abolish 22% Upcoming Crypto Tax

South Korea's opposition People Power Party (PPP) has proposed a bill to abolish the upcoming 20% income tax (up to 22% with local taxes) on crypto assets, scheduled to take effect in 2027. The party argues that classifying crypto as a commodity, similar to recent US regulatory guidance, makes its taxation under the current system inappropriate and could lead to double taxation. They also raised concerns about fairness, consistency, and administrative challenges. The ruling Democratic Party of Korea (DPK), which had previously supported the tax with a higher deduction limit, has agreed to review the amendment but noted it had not been previously discussed and that their stance had been to proceed with the existing policy.

Web3 Fund Global Expansion Guide: Deconstructing the Compliance Frameworks of Six Major Global Crypto Funds

A Guide to Web3 Fund Structures: Analyzing Six Major Global Crypto Fund Compliance Frameworks As crypto assets evolve from simple trading to professional asset management, Web3 projects, quantitative teams, and high-net-worth individuals increasingly adopt fund structures. The choice of legal framework is a foundational decision impacting risk isolation, tax treatment, and long-term compliance. This article analyzes six major fund structures suited for different strategies and investor profiles: - **Cayman SPC**: An umbrella company structure allowing multiple segregated portfolios under one entity. Ideal for multi-strategy teams seeking risk isolation and rapid product iteration. - **Cayman ELP**: A limited partnership form common in VC/PE, offering flexible profit distribution, tax transparency, and investor privacy. - **BVI Approved Fund**: A low-cost, fast-setup solution for early-stage teams managing under $100M, with simplified compliance and up to 20 investors. - **Singapore VCC**: An onshore structure with regulatory credibility, umbrella fund options, and potential tax exemptions (13O/13U), suitable for family offices and teams establishing a local presence. - **Hong Kong LPF**: A localized limited partnership offering convenience for Asian-based operations, banking, and legal services, with potential profit tax exemption. - **Hong Kong OFC**: An open-ended corporate structure ideal for liquid strategies, ETFs, or public offerings, supported by government subsidies. There is no “best” structure—only the most suitable one based on business model, strategy, and target investors. Choosing the right framework early is a critical step in risk management and operational compliance.

SEC’s Atkins Charts New Course For Crypto Regulation In Latest Shift Toward Clarity

SEC Chair Paul Atkins announced a shift in the agency's approach to crypto regulation, moving away from enforcement-driven actions toward clearer, more constructive rules. He criticized the previous strategy for creating uncertainty and driving innovation offshore. The SEC and CFTC jointly issued interpretive guidance clarifying that crypto assets should not be treated as securities and identified four exempt categories: digital commodities, tools, collectibles (like NFTs), and stablecoins. Atkins also disclosed plans for a "startup exemption" and an upcoming safe harbor proposal to allow limited experimentation without full SEC compliance. The new guidance aims to provide regulatory clarity and keep crypto innovation within the U.S.

‘Just the beginning’: Paul Atkins signals SEC’s new crypto rule changes

SEC Chair Paul Atkins announced the agency will soon issue formal proposed rules to codify its recent interpretive guidance, which classifies most crypto assets as non-securities and categorizes them into five groups: digital commodities, collectibles, tools, stablecoins, and securities. The SEC also plans to create a regulatory sandbox for experimentation. Atkins noted that while this is a significant step, courts could still deviate from the SEC’s interpretation. He described the move as a "bridge" as Congress progresses on the CLARITY Act. Senator Cynthia Lummis reported that stablecoin yield issues are "99% resolved" in the bill negotiations. Market optimism for the bill has improved slightly despite earlier setbacks.

A Hair Dryer Blows Open the World's Largest Nvidia Chip Smuggling Case

A co-founder and senior executive of Supermicro, Wally Liaw, has been arrested in California for orchestrating the largest AI chip smuggling case in history, involving $2.5 billion worth of Nvidia GPUs illegally shipped to China. The scheme involved using a Southeast Asian shell company to purchase servers under false pretenses, which were then repackaged and rerouted to China. To deceive auditors, the group created counterfeit servers with identical exteriors but no internal chips, using hairdryers to carefully remove and transfer serial number labels from genuine packaging. Despite prior warnings and awareness of similar arrests, Liaw continued the operation, accelerating shipments before new U.S. export restrictions took effect. Supermicro's stock fell 13% following the news, and the company has suspended Liaw and terminated others involved. The case highlights the persistent high demand for Nvidia chips in China, where black market prices can be 50% higher, driving sophisticated smuggling operations despite escalating U.S. export controls.

U.S. Court Clears Path for Nevada to Take Action Against Kalshi Prediction Market

A U.S. appeals court has allowed Nevada to proceed with legal action against prediction market platform Kalshi, denying the company’s request to block a potential temporary restraining order. This could force Kalshi to suspend operations in Nevada for about two weeks until a follow-up hearing. The dispute began in March 2025 when the Nevada Gaming Control Board issued a cease-and-desist order, arguing that Kalshi’s sports-related prediction contracts violate state gambling laws. Kalshi contends that its products are federally regulated by the CFTC, which supports its position. The ruling is a setback for Kalshi and may lead to an imminent temporary ban in the state.

Crypto Crackdown Intensifies: Canada Revokes 47 Licenses

Canada's financial regulator FINTRAC has intensified its crackdown on the crypto sector, revoking 47 money services business licenses from crypto-related firms in 2026 alone. This follows earlier major penalties, including a $126 million fine for Cryptomus and a $14 million penalty for KuCoin. Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne signaled continued strict enforcement, specifically highlighting risks associated with crypto ATMs and money laundering. The move represents a significant shift in Canada's regulatory approach, with FINTRAC strengthening enforcement and using its actions as a public deterrent. The broader context notes that while illicit crypto transactions are estimated at under 1%, the sector faces stricter scrutiny than traditional finance.

Crypto Investors Cheer As South Korea Scraps Punishing Tax Plan

South Korea's main opposition party, the People Power Party, has proposed a bill to abolish the planned 20% tax on cryptocurrency gains, which was scheduled to take effect in 2027. The tax had been repeatedly delayed due to political debates and concerns over fairness, as it imposed a lower threshold compared to stock gains. The proposal aims to integrate crypto income into a unified financial investment tax framework instead of maintaining a separate regime. While this offers short-term relief for investors, the country continues to advance broader crypto regulations, including user protection laws and AI-powered tracking systems, indicating that a more comprehensive and integrated tax environment may still emerge in the future.

FBI Issues Warning Over Fake ‘FBI Tokens’ on Tron Network

The FBI's New York division issued an emergency alert warning crypto users about a scam on the Tron network involving fraudulent "FBI tokens." The scam uses TRC-20 tokens to impersonate the FBI and attempts to phish for personal information by threatening to freeze assets for alleged AML violations. The FBI advised users not to provide any information and to report if they have already engaged with the scam. This incident is part of a larger surge in crypto impersonation scams, which saw a 1400% year-over-year growth in 2025, with an estimated $17 billion stolen. The FBI also reported a 45% increase in crypto theft losses in 2024, highlighting the growing threat of sophisticated, industrialized fraud operations.

Nasdaq’s Big Bet On Tokenization Gets Regulatory Green Light From SEC

Nasdaq has received SEC approval to launch a pilot program allowing tokenized versions of stocks and ETFs to trade on its exchange alongside traditional shares. These tokenized assets will share the same order book, pricing, and shareholder rights as their conventional counterparts. The program is limited to eligible participants and includes securities from the Russell 1000 Index, as well as S&P 500 and Nasdaq-100 ETFs. This initiative, developed in partnership with the Depository Trust Company, reflects a broader institutional move toward blockchain-based trading to reduce settlement times and extend market hours. The SEC approval signals a regulatory shift toward clearer digital asset rules under the current administration.
