  When you borrow cryptocurrency, it is important to understand that it may have tax implications. The IRS treats borrowed cryptocurrency as taxable income, just like any other form of income. This means that you will need to report the value of the borrowed cryptocurrency as income on your tax return. Additionally, if you sell or trade the borrowed cryptocurrency, you may also be subject to capital gains tax. It is recommended to consult with a tax professional to ensure you are properly reporting and paying taxes on your borrowed cryptocurrency.
