Japanese crypto lending company CRYL has launched a Bitcoin-collateral loan service. Users can obtain fiat loans ranging from 1 million to 1 billion yen (about $6,200 to $6.18 million) without selling BTC. The annual interest rate is 3.5% to 7.0%, with a one-year term that can be renewed. In Japan, the gains from individuals selling crypto assets may face an overall tax rate as high as about 55%, so such collateral financing can help holders access funds without selling BTC and without triggering a taxable event. CRYL is a subsidiary under J-CAM, the operator of BitLending, and has obtained a lending business registration in Tokyo. (CoinPost)

An interest rate of 3.5% to 7% is far better than the 55% tax for selling crypto—good news for Japanese HODLers

It’s a little short for a one-year term. If they could offer a long-term plan for three or five years, it would be even more suitable for diamond hands.

The entry threshold of 1 million to start borrowing is a bit high—ordinary retail investors still can’t reach it. This is an institutional game, basically.

A 55% effective tax rate is really outrageous—this kind of structural innovation in collateralized lending is “wisdom” forced out by necessity.

J-CAM registered in Tokyo, compliance is fully maxed out—far more reliable than those back-alley lending platforms.
