Cold Wallet có nguy cơ bị tịch thu tại Hàn Quốc vì chưa nộp thuế

The National Tax Agency of South Korea (NTS) warns that tax debtors may have their cold wallets confiscated right at home. The agency stated that it has used blockchain tracking tools to follow transaction histories and will conduct searches if it suspects assets are being hidden offline.

This statement marks an escalation in the campaign to collect taxes on digital assets, which previously focused on domestic exchange users. However, dealing with cases involving foreign exchanges remains challenging due to the lack of cooperation agreements with the U.S., China, and Russia.

According to the Financial Supervisory Agency, in the first half of 2025, 78.9 trillion won (~55.6 billion USD) in cryptocurrency left South Korean exchanges. Over the past 4 years, the NTS has seized 146.1 trillion won (~103 million USD) in digital assets from 14,140 tax debtors.
