Gate News message, April 21 — South Korea’s National Tax Service announced on April 15 that it plans to deploy crypto asset tracking software from firms including Chainalysis and TRM Labs to monitor cryptocurrency transactions in real time, trace hidden assets of suspected tax evaders, and combat money laundering, hidden inheritance transfers, and offshore tax evasion using digital assets.
The system can track approximately 70 million cryptocurrencies across 45 blockchain layers, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, and stablecoins. It features de-mixing capabilities to identify mixing services used for money laundering and can perform identity recognition on non-custodial wallets such as MetaMask and Phantom.
This marks the third such deployment by the tax authority since 2024. The system is scheduled for completion in June, with full deployment beginning in July.

As Taxes Fade Away, Stablecoin Adoption Continues to Rise in Brazil
Brazilian stablecoins are widening beyond crypto as tax-free payments outpace fiat taxes; Lula delays a 3.5% levy amid backlash, shaping future policy amid inflation and rising election tensions.
Abstract: The Brazilian uptake of stablecoins is broadening beyond crypto sectors as firms leverage dollar-pegged payments to bypass financial transaction taxes that apply to fiat. Industry sources, notably Bloquo’s Carlos Russo, note that stablecoins accelerate B2B settlements across banks, brokerages, and cross-border dealings, including Bolivia. Trading volumes reached about 29.4 billion reais in December. The government proposed a 3.5% stablecoin tax but faced strong opposition, prompting President Lula to defer the measure to a potential future term amid inflation and precarious polls against Flavio Bolsonaro. The episode highlights a policy crossroads where crypto regulation could be shaped by political risk and macroeconomic pressures.
