South Korea's Financial Commission: Shareholding Restrictions for Exchange Major Shareholders Not Targeting Specific Companies

On October 10, Lee Ik-yeon, chairman of the Financial Services Commission of South Korea, stated that the provisions regarding shareholding restrictions for major shareholders of virtual asset exchanges in the ongoing 'Basic Law on Digital Assets' are not aimed at specific individuals or companies. Instead, they are designed to ensure that exchanges, once institutionalized, bear a higher level of public responsibility. Currently, South Korean virtual asset exchanges operate under a system that requires updates every three years, but this will transition to a licensing system after the implementation of the 'Basic Law on Digital Assets.' Lee emphasized that exchanges have infrastructure attributes and must possess public accountability and responsibility commensurate with their status.

  • French Finance Committee Approves Amendments on Stablecoin Exchange Tax and Crypto Exit Tax

    On October 10, Decrypt reported that the Finance Committee of the French National Assembly approved two amendments related to cryptocurrency taxation this week: starting January 1, 2027, exchanges of stablecoins regulated under MiCA will be considered taxable sales; and an exit tax will be imposed on taxpayers who have been French tax residents for at least six of the past ten years and have moved abroad with crypto assets totaling over 800,000 euros. On October 9, the committee voted 31 to 3 to reject the budget revenue portion, and the full National Assembly will review based on the government's original text. The amendments will not be automatically included; supporters must reintroduce them during the debate starting on October 13, with a formal vote scheduled for October 20. The related measures have not yet become law. The stablecoin amendment was proposed by Nicolas Sansu, a member of the left-wing GDR party group, along with 16 co-signers, and does not set a new tax rate but aims to include the revenue under France's existing 31.4% flat tax system. The committee also passed an amendment allowing crypto asset losses to be carried forward for ten years to offset future gains.
