Hong Kong Expands Tax Exemptions for Digital Assets, Bolstering Fintech Hub

Hong Kong is taking steps to boost its position as a leading fintech hub by expanding tax exemptions for digital assets. The government plans to introduce legislation in 2026 aimed at broadening the existing exemptions for family offices and funds to include private credit, carbon credits, and digital assets. This move could potentially attract institutional investors to cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum, further increasing activity in Hong Kong’s financial markets.
