US lawmakers have introduced a bill that would tailor digital-asset tax rules based on how the assets are used. The measure is intended to refine the tax code and make digital assets easier to use. In South Korea, by contrast, officials have been building a crypto tax framework since 2020, but critics say it still does not reflect how the industry actually works.

According to the US Senate on October 7, Senator Steve Daines introduced the Adjusting Digital Asset Principles Tax Act, or ADAPT Act, on September 30 to overhaul federal tax rules for digital assets. Daines said the bill would modernize tax standards for digital assets and provide clearer guidance for taxpayers, businesses and the Internal Revenue Service.
