Cryptoassets standard: gazettal of revised SPM modules and code of practice
The Hong Kong Monetary Authority issued eight revised Supervisory Policy Manual modules and a revised Banking (Exposure Limits) Code as statutory guidelines. These revisions implement the Basel Committee's standard on the prudential treatment of banks' cryptoasset exposures and consequential amendments under the Banking (Capital) (Amendment) Rules 2025 and Banking (Exposure Limits) (Amendment) Rules 2025. The revised guidelines take effect on 1 January 2026 and are accessible via the HKMA's Banking Regulatory Document Repository.
