This means that the recipient of the gift is not obligated to treat the newly acquired cryptocurrency as income.

Taxation comes into play only when the recipient decides to dispose of the cryptocurrency.

Disposal can include selling the cryptocurrency, using it to purchase goods or services, or trading it for another cryptocurrency.
