Virtual-asset tax vs. financial investment tax: “This isn’t fair” debate resurfaces

In communities, arguments repeatedly appeared that it is unfair for a 22% tax to apply only to virtual assets when the financial investment tax has been abolished. Concerns were bundled together, including an incomplete investor-protection framework, potential migration to overseas exchanges, and weakened competitiveness of domestic exchanges, with some predicting that political debate would intensify. Posts also highlighted procedural updates such as a petition to abolish the tax surpassing 50,000 signatures and an expected referral to a National Assembly standing committee, alongside mentions that the government’s position is to proceed with taxation as scheduled from 2027.

ETF outflows and safe-haven framing: macro and flow issues rise in parallel

As summaries noting the “second-largest outflow on record” from Bitcoin ETFs spread, users reacted by reassessing flow-driven downside risk.

Calendar-style posts (weekly macro/crypto calendars) also ranked highly, reflecting demand to track both near-term catalysts and economic indicators.

“Ethereum Foundation will sell less”: brief remarks that move sentiment

A mention that the Ethereum Foundation plans to sell “less” ETH going forward spread alongside short reactions of amazement or frustration. Rather than detailed figures or plans, the keyword “reduced selling pressure” itself was consumed in a way that directly impacted sentiment, followed by a 분위기 of attempts to verify and interpret the news.

TGE and claim guides plus exchange events: continued demand for actionable info

Ahead of Solstice (SLX) TGE, many practical guides were shared—claim times, listed exchanges, staking APY, vesting options—serving as decision-making materials. At the same time, cautious messages such as “skip if the FDV isn’t reasonable” also appeared, showing simultaneous risk awareness around TGE participation or short-term trades. In addition, participation-type notices such as Upbit ticket entries, OKX card issuance/cashback events, and community campaigns (AMA, offline meetups, airdrops) consistently occupied top positions.
