Recent net Bitcoin outflows from exchanges could signal investor accumulation activity, Cointelegraph reported, citing multiple analysts. In a contribution to CryptoQuant, crypto analyst Darkfost noted that exchange withdrawal trends were dominant throughout March, except when BTC was trading around $76,000. This suggests, he said, that genuine accumulation occurred as investors bought BTC on exchanges and moved it to private wallets. Nick Ruck, director of research at LVRG, said such outflows are a sign of long-term accumulation rather than speculative trading, showing a lack of intent to sell amid market volatility. Similarly, Jeff Mei, chief operating officer (COO) at BTSE, analyzed that it is a natural result for investors to accumulate BTC, as it has shown better gains than stocks and gold amid geopolitical crises.

South Korea's People Power Party has decided to make repealing the planned income tax on virtual assets its official party platform, The Korea Economic Daily reported. The tax is scheduled to take effect next year. Lawmakers from the party cited several issues with the tax, including fairness, logical inconsistencies, potential double taxation, and the need to foster the digital asset industry.

Kim Eun-hye, the party's senior deputy floor leader, added that a second phase of legislation is just as important as the tax issue. She noted that while her party is ready to negotiate, discussions have not progressed due to the lack of a unified proposal, and called for a more proactive attitude from the government and the Democratic Party.

South Korea's Fair Trade Commission (FTC) has issued a corrective order against Dunamu, the operator of the Upbit exchange, for misleadingly advertising its transaction fees, Aju Business Daily reported. Dunamu advertised on its website that it was offering a significant discount, cutting fees from a supposed standard rate of 0.139% to a promotional 0.05%. However, an FTC investigation found that the company had never actually applied the 0.139% rate to general orders since the exchange's launch. The 0.05% fee, advertised as a temporary discount, has been the standard rate all along. The FTC opted only for a corrective order, which prohibits future violations, after considering that only five notices contained the false information and that their view count was low relative to the website's total traffic.
