One of the main advantages of getting such kind of loans is that in Japan “the sale of virtual currency, the proceeds from this transaction will be subject to progressive taxation, and the tax can reach 55 percent,” the company explained.
Loans secured cryptocurrency, saves clients from having to sell their digital assets. These products are available to both individuals and legal entities.
Credit conditions
