According to a report by South Korea's "Daily Economic News," the Ministry of Economy and Finance has decided to classify perpetual contracts linked to U.S. stocks as overseas stock derivatives, bringing them under the scope of capital gains tax. Starting next year, profits earned from investing in such products through overseas cryptocurrency exchanges will be subject to an 11% tax rate, calculated after deducting a basic exemption of 2.5 million Korean won from annual earnings, which is half of the tax rate for overseas spot stocks (22%).The report states that U.S. stock perpetual contracts are derivatives traded through overseas cryptocurrency exchanges like Binance, tracking U.S. stocks such as Nvidia, Apple, and Tesla. Since the Financial Services Commission of South Korea has not permitted perpetual contracts, South Korean investors can only participate through overseas exchanges. According to industry statistics, the trading volume of such products across 19 global exchanges from January to August this year was approximately $1 trillion. The South Korean government plans to monitor investors' relevant trading records at overseas exchanges and tax them accordingly. The news cites sources from South Korean government departments, but has not yet received official confirmation from the Ministry of Economy and Finance.
