BlockBeats message, April 1, according to HuiGang Information, Chen Haolum, Deputy Director of the Hong Kong Financial Affairs and Treasury Bureau, said at the ACCA Hong Kong Branch 2026 Tax Seminar that Hong Kong has already received support from the Legislative Council, with the goal of completing the legislation for the Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework (CARF) by 2026, in order to enable the automatic exchange of crypto-asset transaction data among tax jurisdictions and improve transaction transparency.
