The calculation for staking and the airdrop hasn’t even been finalized, yet they’re already rushing to announce 22%? Feels like there’ll be another round of chaos once the detailed rules come out.

The KRW 2.5 million tax threshold is approximately RMB 13k, and many ordinary players may not even earn that much in a year. The real headache is for large traders—be careful about leaving an on-chain trail from now on.

Private wallets and overseas exchanges can’t escape either, but the question is whether South Korea’s National Tax Service can really track them down. It feels like reporting relies entirely on self-discipline.

A 22% tax sounds painful.
