ChainCatcher News reports that according to the Hong Kong Government’s press release, Financial Secretary Paul Chan announced in his budget speech that to further attract family offices and funds to Hong Kong, the tax system will be optimized. Digital assets, precious metals, and other assets will be classified as eligible investments for tax concessions, with plans to implement this starting from the 2025/2026 tax year.
Additionally, over the next two years, Hong Kong will implement the OECD’s crypto asset reporting framework and the revised Common Reporting Standard (CRS) to enhance international tax transparency and combat cross-border tax evasion. The government expects to submit the draft amendments to the Inland Revenue Ordinance in the first half of the year. Paul Chan also stated that the Hong Kong government will continue issuing tokenized bonds regularly, and within this year, a digital asset platform will be established to support the issuance and settlement of digital bonds. The platform will gradually expand to include other digital assets and connect with other tokenization platforms within the region.

Citigroup Slashes Bitcoin and Ethereum 12-Month Price Targets, Citing Stalled U.S. Crypto Legislation Weighing on Upside Catalysts
Citigroup has lowered its 12-month price targets for Bitcoin and Ethereum, signaling a shift toward caution on the cryptocurrency market's medium-term outlook, primarily due to slow progress in U.S. crypto asset legislation. Bitcoin's target was reduced from $143,000 to $112,000, while Ethereum's fell to $3,175. Despite upside potential remaining in the future, the lack of new policy catalysts suggests prices may oscillate within a range in the near term.
