  When loan proceeds are received in fiat currency, the taxation is relatively straightforward. The amount received is considered as income and is subject to income tax. However, when loan proceeds are received in digital assets, the taxation can be more complex. The tax authorities may treat the receipt of digital assets as a taxable event and require the borrower to report the value of the assets at the time of receipt. The tax liability will depend on various factors, such as the classification of the digital assets and the holding period. It's recommended to consult with a tax professional who is familiar with the taxation of digital assets to ensure compliance with the tax regulations.
