Income generated from digital assets held not only on domestic exchanges but also in private wallets and overseas exchanges is subject to taxation, Digital Asset reported. South Korea’s National Tax Service said income earned by residents from transferring or lending digital assets is taxable regardless of whether the assets are held on overseas exchanges or in private wallets. The agency said there are practical limits to fully identifying unreported transaction data from private-wallet activity, but it will work to prevent tax blind spots by introducing transaction-tracking and analysis programs. It added that both agencies are reviewing taxation standards for digital assets obtained through staking, lending, airdrops, and hard forks, taking into account the characteristics of each type of activity.

South Korea’s Democratic Party appears set to press ahead with taxation on gains from virtual asset investments, with no separate discussions under way on extending the current tax delay, Financial News reported. The party cited the principle that income should be taxed wherever it arises. Under the Income Tax Act, the tax is set to take effect on Jan. 1 next year. If the ruling party and the government do not pursue additional talks on another delay, taxation on virtual asset investment gains at a 22% rate will effectively become a reality. Even with that stance, concerns are growing over incomplete legal requirements. Legislation on a basic digital asset law has not been finalized. The bill is intended to regulate the broader market, including the issuance, distribution and disclosure of digital assets, while around 10 related bills remain pending in the National Assembly. As a result, market rules remain largely absent.

U.S. Democratic Sen. Ruben Gallego warned that rushing a Senate vote on the CLARITY Act could instead delay its passage, arguing that partisan differences over ethics issues and stablecoin rewards should be resolved first. Gallego said at the SALT Wyoming Blockchain Symposium that the crypto industry should encourage further talks between Democrats and Republicans rather than push for an early vote, according to Cointelegraph. Gallego said work still remains to finalize provisions under the Agriculture Committee’s jurisdiction, assemble the full legislative package, and decide how to send it to the House. Gallego added that with 60 votes needed to move the bill through the Senate, forcing a procedural vote before securing enough bipartisan support could slow the measure instead. Gallego said that could weigh on President Donald Trump’s administration, which is pushing for the CLARITY Act’s swift passage.

South Korea’s Financial Supervisory Service has built a market surveillance system that uses artificial intelligence to detect and analyze unfair trading in virtual assets in real time, Digital Asset reported. The move is intended to quickly identify abnormal trading and determine whether probes are needed, given that thousands of tokens trade around the clock across multiple exchanges. The watchdog developed an AI algorithm in January to automatically identify bid quotes by suspected price manipulators and the periods in which they allegedly influenced prices. In April, it added a function to automatically detect multiple linked accounts used in price manipulation. The agency has now expanded AI use across its broader market surveillance work, including unusual-trading detection and decisions on whether to open investigations. Publicly available online information is also included in the AI monitoring scope. The system can detect illegal front-running through chat rooms, the distribution of videos containing false claims, and posts that incite unfair trading.
