Financial Secretary Paul Chan announced that Hong Kong will broaden its preferential tax regime to include cryptocurrencies, precious metals, and commodities for family offices and funds beginning in early 2026. The move seeks to attract global wealth management firms amid rivalry with Singapore and Dubai. This expansion complements existing initiatives, including OECD-aligned crypto reporting, tokenized bond issuance, and mandatory licensing for digital asset service providers, reinforcing Hong Kong’s ambition to build a regulated, innovation-led financial ecosystem.
