Hong Kong will expand its digital finance strategy with tax relief measures, OECD-aligned crypto reporting, and broader tokenized asset integration starting in the 2025/2026 tax year.
Hong Kong Financial Secretary Paul Chan announced tax relief for qualified investments, including digital assets and precious metals, beginning in the 2025/2026 tax year. Measures will include adoption of OECD crypto reporting frameworks, continued issuance of tokenized bonds, and creation of a digital asset platform to integrate a wider range of tokenized assets beyond bonds. The platform, spearheaded by the Hong Kong Monetary Authority’s CMU OmniClear Holdings, follows plans for a 10 billion Hong Kong dollar tokenized bond issuance in late 2025, signaling the city’s commitment to digital finance innovation.
