According to South Korea's Chosun Ilbo, the National Tax Service of South Korea is accelerating preparations for the taxation of virtual assets by 2027, including the establishment of a new Digital Asset Comprehensive Division and the promotion of the construction of a comprehensive analysis system for virtual assets. However, the National Assembly has not yet scheduled the discussion on the petition signed by 50,000 people to abolish the virtual asset tax, and discussions have stalled.Under the current tax system, investment income from virtual assets is taxed at 22% after a deduction of 2.5 million won, while stock investors do not pay capital gains tax when buying and selling stocks on the exchange, and losses from virtual assets cannot be carried over to the next year, which has been criticized as unfair. Related discussions are expected to advance after the government's tax reform plan is announced at the end of July.

The Ethereum institutional privacy technology company EthSystems has officially launched and received strategic funding support from ecosystem backers such as Bitmine, Sharplink Gaming, Joe Lubin, and SNZ Holding.EthSystems focuses on developing privacy technologies for banks, asset management companies, and other regulated entities, enabling institutions to execute financial transactions on the Ethereum network at scale while protecting sensitive information such as transaction details and client identities.The company was founded by the core team of the Institutional Privacy Task Force (IPTF) of the Ethereum Foundation. The team has previously conducted a year-long open-source research and development publicly on the EthSystems website and has established partnerships with several central banks, regulatory agencies, large banks, and asset management institutions. EthSystems stated that while institutions have begun exploring stablecoins, tokenized assets, and Ethereum-based settlement solutions, large-scale adoption still faces privacy and compliance challenges.Financial institutions need more than just access to blockchain networks; they require a complete infrastructure that meets business confidentiality protection, regulatory requirements, and compatibility with existing financial systems. The goal is to create a "selective disclosure" privacy architecture that allows transaction participants to view only the information they are authorized to access, while retaining the core advantages of Ethereum's decentralization, security, and openness, and complementing two other organizations: Ethlabs, which focuses on the research and development of Ethereum's core protocol and infrastructure; Ethereum Institutional, responsible for institutional collaboration, education, market research, and ecosystem coordination; and EthSystems, which focuses on application layer technology, transforming institutional needs into practical privacy protocols and financial systems.
