Specifically, at the beginning of June, the Korean financial authority revealed plans to impose a tax on cryptocurrencies. More details will be announced by the agency in July.
Notably, in early 2020, the Bithumb exchange filed a complaint when it received a tax bill of up to 69 million USD. According to the Bithumb exchange, the $69 million figure is completely baseless because cryptocurrencies are not recognized by the law of this country.
