PwC launches Global Crypto Tax Report 2026

The survey of 58 jurisdictions shows convergence between the crypto sector and traditional financial services

Hong Kong, 2 February 2026–PwC Hong Kong has just published its latest annual Global Crypto Tax Report. Now in its fifth year, the report provides updates on the latest developments from 58 jurisdictions worldwide, updated as of 1 October 2025.

“The crypto industry is increasingly regulated. This has driven huge changes in the business models of those operating in the sector and is resulting in convergence between the crypto sector and traditional financial services,” says Peter Brewin, PwC Hong Kong Digital Assets Leader. “The OECD’s Crypto Asset Tax Reporting Framework, which is now live in many jurisdictions, means that tax transparency in crypto is a key theme in this year’s report.”

The report surveys tax specialists from PwC in each of the jurisdictions covered. They report on whether there is tax authority guidance or tax law relating to crypto in their territory. The impact on direct and indirect taxes, as well as information reporting, is also covered where applicable.

“The continuous growth in the scope of this report is testament to the increasing importance of digital assets,” says Mr Brewin. “Businesses need to ensure that they are able to manage the tax implications of their activities in the crypto space.”
