The Defiant reports that South Korea's ruling party, led by Kim Min-seok, is formally seeking a delay in the implementation of crypto taxes. A two-year postponement is under discussion, but the legal start date for taxation remains set for January 1, 2027. The party aims to establish a comprehensive digital-asset framework before any taxation occurs.
