According to The Block, the Democratic Party of Korea plans to incorporate tokenized real-world assets (RWA) and stablecoins into the existing legal framework, with relevant provisions included in the proposal for the Digital Asset Basic Law.The proposal requires issuers of tokenized RWA to deposit the underlying assets into a trust account in accordance with the Capital Markets Act; stablecoins are classified as a "means of payment" under the Foreign Exchange Transaction Act and are regulated by the foreign exchange authority without the need for separate registration. Small stablecoin transactions are exempt from foreign exchange reporting, while large transactions maintain regulatory requirements.In addition, the proposal prohibits providing yields on idle stablecoin balances and requires the Financial Services Commission to establish technical standards for stablecoin interoperability. The Digital Asset Basic Law is Korea's second set of digital asset regulatory regulations, which has faced multiple legislative delays, with the originally scheduled rollout in 2025 being postponed.

Devansh Mehta, a researcher at the Ethereum Foundation, proposed a Validator Revenue Redistribution (VRR) scheme at the EthCC conference. It aims to allow validators to signal on the consensus layer and autonomously decide to redirect a certain percentage of their staking rewards to designated smart contracts, rather than withdrawing all to personal wallets. The recipients can be public goods funding platforms like Gitcoin, Octant, security auditing agencies, or core protocol research teams.The scheme involves two changes to the execution layer: signaling the redirection ratio by validators and the logical implementation of fund allocation to the designated contracts.

According to market news, two legislators in Delaware have proposed the Delaware Banking Modernization Act (Senate Bill 16) and the Delaware Payment Stablecoin Act (Senate Bill 19), aimed at establishing a licensing framework for stablecoin issuers.The Stablecoin Act intends to implement licensing management for stablecoin issuers and digital asset service providers operating in Delaware, adopting relevant definitions and statements from the U.S. federal Stablecoin Act (GENIUS Act), and setting regulatory requirements such as reserve shortfall remediation mechanisms, mandatory redemption time limits, capital requirements, and anti-money laundering obligations. If approved, the state banking commissioner will be responsible for implementing the relevant rules within the specified timeframe. The Banking Modernization Act primarily updates corporate governance for traditional financial institutions while introducing a definition of digital assets to enhance regulatory certainty. Both bills still need to be reviewed by the Senate Banking Committee and debated by the full Senate.Delaware Governor Matt Meyer stated that this legislation aims to attract future industries and provide residents with more convenient financial services.

According to The Defiant, Electric Capital released a research report on Monday, reviewing 501 real-world yield assets and cross-referencing them with tokenized assets that currently have significant on-chain activity. The report shows that only 34 yield assets have an on-chain scale exceeding $50 million, primarily concentrated in U.S. Treasuries, private credit, corporate bonds, and non-U.S. sovereign bonds; the remaining 93% of yield sources are still blocked by seven categories of obstacles, covering legal structures, asset-backed security challenges, and the real integration challenges of commodities and computing infrastructure.The report points out that distribution channels are the main bottleneck: among 35 non-stablecoin on-chain yield RWAs, only 2 have more than 2,000 holders. Part of the reason is design limitations, such as BlackRock's BUIDL requiring a minimum investment of $5 million, but data shows that most tokenized assets still rely on a few large deployers and treasury managers. The top ten holders of BUIDL control 98% of its supply, with holders mainly being protocols like Ethena, Ondo, and Sky.Electric Capital believes that five factors will drive more assets on-chain: the growth of stablecoin scale and diversification of yield preferences, differentiated competition among protocols, treasury infrastructure absorbing duration risk, layered mechanisms expanding the buyer base, and leveraged cycles amplifying demand for collateral assets. The report also notes that Goldman Sachs expects AI infrastructure spending to exceed $50 billion by 2026, with GPU leasing, data center construction, and energy contracts expected to become emerging catalytic scenarios for on-chain financing.

According to The Block, South Korea's largest opposition party, the People Power Party, has submitted a bill to the National Assembly proposing to completely abolish the cryptocurrency capital gains tax plan set to take effect on January 1, 2027. The bill was primarily proposed by the party's representative Song Eon-seok.Under the current tax scheme, South Korea plans to impose a maximum tax rate of 22% on cryptocurrency trading gains exceeding 2.5 million won (approximately $1,665), consisting of a 20% national income tax and a 2% local tax. This tax plan has been postponed three times since 2022.The core argument of the bill is tax fairness. By the end of 2024, South Korea will have abolished income tax on gains from traditional financial investments such as stocks, and the proponents argue that it is unfair to tax cryptocurrency investors separately. The bill also cites the recent guidance from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) that classifies most cryptocurrencies as commodities, arguing that cryptocurrencies should not be treated the same as securities.
