South Korea should broaden the potential use of public blockchains in its tokenized securities framework, as relying solely on private chains could make interoperability between financial institutions more difficult and limit links to global liquidity, News1 reported from the second Ethereum Korea Policy Seminar held in Seoul on Sept. 8. Adrian Lee, the Ethereum Foundation’s head of Asia-Pacific policy, said South Korea’s STO framework is heavily focused on requiring activity to remain on private blockchains. While Lee said the rationale for that approach is understandable, Lee added there are practical risks that are not always clearly visible and said public blockchains could be one solution. Matthew Dawson, co-founder of Ethereum Institutional, cited JPMorgan as an example of public blockchain adoption. Dawson said JPMorgan built blockchain-based financial infrastructure by developing Quorum, a private blockchain using Ethereum technology, and is now also expanding tokenization efforts in the public Ethereum ecosystem.

The rate of unreported or unfulfilled crypto tax obligations in France may exceed 90%, according to a Chainalysis analysis. Chainalysis said there is a wide gap in France’s crypto tax reporting system between potentially taxable crypto activity and actual tax filings. For the 2024 income year, only 24,000 individuals reported net gains from crypto, with total declared net gains of €368 million ($394.9 million). In the previous year, about 7,700 taxpayers reported a combined €150.8 million ($161.7 million) in gains. The trend shows crypto tax reporting is structurally not being carried out properly, Chainalysis said. The estimate that nonreporting and noncompliance could exceed 90% also aligns with the broader global picture. Chainalysis previously estimated that potentially taxable on-chain activity worldwide would exceed $457 billion in 2025, while only about 14% was expected to comply with new reporting frameworks.

Nearly 70% of Bitcoin trading value on South Korean exchange Bithumb was concentrated in the top 10 accounts during the recent price rally, Edaily reported. According to the report, the share of total trading value accounted for by the top 10 accounts on Bithumb climbed to nearly 70% on Aug. 21, as Bitcoin rose above 100 million won. That was more than double the usual level of around 30%. Over the same period, the concentration ratio reached 67% for Ethereum, 53% for XRP and the mid-50% range for Tether. Some in the industry have raised the possibility of abnormal trading around the concentration in Bithumb volumes. Still, trading concentration alone does not appear sufficient to justify such suspicions. Similar patterns, in which trading by more active investors increases faster during price rallies, have also been observed in other markets. Financial authorities reviewing the related trading data also see no issue, according to Edaily.

South Korea’s government has spent weeks in talks with the National Assembly to introduce a basic law on digital assets, but discussions have hit difficulties amid differences over the stablecoin oversight framework and limits on major shareholders’ stakes in virtual asset exchanges, Chosun Biz reported. According to the report, lawmakers are particularly concerned about the management and supervisory framework after stablecoins are issued. Previous discussions on the bill had focused on who would be allowed to issue stablecoins and what level of reserve assets and prudential requirements issuers should face. Concerns have since emerged that relatively little discussion has addressed how to monitor and control the risk of stablecoins being used for money laundering or illegal transactions once they are in actual circulation. South Korea’s Financial Services Commission plans to submit the government’s proposal to the National Assembly this month, but the actual timing of the bill’s introduction remains unclear as key issues have yet to be resolved.

South Korea’s Financial Services Commission increased the budget for introducing a digital-asset analysis and tracking solution for anti-money laundering efforts by 1.93 billion won ($1.4 million), Digital Asset reported. In materials submitted to the National Assembly on Sept. 3, the commission said advances in blockchain and other new technologies have increased the speed and complexity of money laundering, while limitations tied to aging systems have made it harder to track transaction flows, prompting efforts to improve the quality of suspicious transaction analysis. Separately, it added 11.4 billion won ($8.3 million) for the introduction of an AI-based review and analysis system.

Privacy coins have surged 213% from their October 2025 levels, far outperforming other crypto sectors as the broader market rebounds, according to on-chain analytics firm Glassnode. BTC remains 36% below its October 2025 peak, while the median cryptocurrency among the top 200 by market capitalization is still 58% below its high from that period. By contrast, privacy coins are up 213% on the same basis. That stands in contrast to other major sectors including DeFi, Layer 1, AI, real-world assets, memecoins and Layer 2, all of which have yet to recover their highs from that time. Over the past 30 days, privacy coins have also climbed 90%, leading the market’s gains.

CoinMarketCap’s Altcoin Season Index came in at 42, unchanged from yesterday. The index is calculated by comparing the price performance of Bitcoin and the top 100 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization, excluding stablecoins and wrapped coins. A market is considered to be in altcoin season when 75% of the top 100 coins have outperformed Bitcoin over the past 90 days, while the opposite is considered Bitcoin season. A reading closer to 100 indicates stronger altcoin season conditions.
