How to buy Chainlink in South Korea
Is LINK a good investment in South Korea?
LINK crypto was released in 2017 with an initial price of $0.11. Its price didn’t have a salient change until mid-2019 when it finally could reach $1 per token and continued to grow and ended the year with a price of $4. 2020 was more surprising for this coin because it could mount up to $14 and become a wonderful investment for its owners. LINK could reach its highest price of $37 in February 2021. Although it might seem that LINK didn’t have a great beginning, its price suddenly surprised everyone. However, 2022 wasn’t a great year for this crypto because the LINK price dropped to $19.60 in January, and ended the year at $7.
Like many cryptocurrencies, LINK also had fluctuations. People who want to invest in this crypto would like to know if it will end up profitable. No one knows the answer to this question, but some factors can help investors decide on buying this crypto. One of them is LINK price predictions. Some crypto analysts believe that LINK price may continue to fall until 2027, but then it might increase to $70 and may continue to grow and be around $169 in the next ten years. Therefore, they expect LINK to be a good long-term investment. However, predictions are just some expectations that might not come true. It is better to check the news about this crypto, read its whitepaper, and investigate the price of the day to decide whether it is the best time to buy LINK.
What is Chainlink ?
Chainlink is a decentralized oracle network announced in 2017. It runs on the Ethereum blockchain and is used to support advanced smart contracts. Generally, smart contracts are automated agreements on blockchain. But, sometimes, they need to connect to the real world to make some processes possible. Chainlink makes this possible and acts like a bridge between blockchains and external data sources or what is known as off-chain.
Is Chainlink legal to buy in South Korea
Yes, cryptocurrency is legal to buy in South Korea. The South Korean government has taken a
cautious but supportive approach to the development of the cryptocurrency industry, and has
implemented a number of regulations to promote the growth of the sector while protecting
consumers and investors. The legality of trading cryptocurrency in South Korea is governed by
the Virtual Currency Act. The mentioned act defines virtual currency as a type of electronic
asset that can be used as a medium of exchange, but does not have legal tender status.
According to the same act, in South Korea, individuals and businesses can legally buy, sell,
trade, and hold cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and others. However, the use of
cryptocurrency as a means of payment for goods and services is still limited.
It is important to keep up to date with the latest developments and regulations in the
cryptocurrency sector in South Korea, as the legal and regulatory framework for cryptocurrency
may change over time.
Is Chainlink taxed in South Korea
Yes. According to the the Virtual Currency Act, in South Korea, cryptocurrency is taxed as
income under the Income Tax Act and the Corporate Tax Act. According to these laws, profits
derived from the sale or exchange of cryptocurrency are considered taxable income and are
subject to both personal income tax and corporate income tax. The tax treatment of
cryptocurrency in South Korea depends on the individual's or company's status and the purpose
of the transaction. For individuals, cryptocurrency gains are taxed at a flat rate of 20% for short-
term gains (held for one year or less) and a graduated rate for long-term gains (held for more
than one year). For companies, cryptocurrency gains are subject to corporate income tax at the
standard corporate tax rate.
It is important to note that individuals and companies are responsible for reporting their
cryptocurrency-related income on their tax returns. Failure to accurately report and pay taxes on
cryptocurrency-related income can result in penalties and fines. Also, the regulation and
taxation of cryptocurrency in South Korea is subject to change, and it is advisable to stay
informed of the latest developments and seek professional advice on tax matters related to
cryptocurrency.
After you've bought Chainlink in South Korea
LINK coin is mainly used on the Chainlink network as a payment fee or for voting on different processes. It can’t be used as a payment method outside this network. Therefore, it is not possible to use it as a real currency to purchase goods or transfer money. However, this might be possible in the future. You can trade or swap the LINK coins with Eth or XRP and then use it to purchase goods or even use it in gaming or other processes.
Meanwhile, most people buy a cryptocurrency for investment. In this case, the usage is not that important because you only need to keep your coins in a wallet and wait until the right time to sell. Investment needs you to be aware of the crypto market and check the coin price every day. If you are new to this world, we recommend you choose an exit point for your investment. Thus, if the price of LINK reaches that amount, you can easily sell it to get a profit. In the end, we also suggest investing as much as you can afford to lose because cryptocurrencies are volatile, and nothing is predictable in this world.
