South Korea Excludes Crypto From Updated Donation Laws.


Published Monday 6th May 2024

South Korea recently made updates to its Donation Act for the first time in 15 years, broadening the scope of acceptable donation assets to include local government-issued stablecoins and blockchain vouchers. This move is seen as a step towards embracing innovative technologies and digital assets in the realm of charitable giving. However, despite the expansion of acceptable donation assets, cryptocurrency donations have been notably excluded from the updated laws.

This exclusion of cryptocurrency donations has stirred disappointment and concern within the crypto community in South Korea. Cryptocurrency has gained popularity in the country in recent years, with a growing number of individuals and organizations utilizing digital assets for various purposes, including donations. The exclusion of cryptocurrencies from the updated Donation Act is seen as a missed opportunity to fully embrace the potential of blockchain technology and digital currencies in the realm of philanthropy.
