South Korea\'s Financial Supervisory Service issued a consumer alert after scammers used a fake blockchain network impersonating Dunamu\'s GIWA to steal digital assets. The regulator said the group spread false claims of a surprise mainnet launch and mimicked technical details such as RPC addresses, chain IDs and bridges to mislead users. It urged users to verify announcements on official developer channels and to suspect bridges or smart contracts claiming support for unreleased networks.

South Korea\'s ruling party will reach a final conclusion within the year on digital asset taxation ahead of its planned implementation in January. Democratic Party leader Kim Min-seok raised the need for a concentrated final review, and said he also proposed the idea to Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Lee Hyung-il. Under the current system, taxation is set to begin on Jan. 1, 2027, after three postponements. Industry groups cite unclear standards for various transaction types and gaps in reporting infrastructure.
