I am wondering if it is possible for a SMSF to take out a collateralised crypto loan?
As i understand it, there are strict requirements to borrowing money in a SMSF, however due to this being Crypto and the fact the loan is collateralised at 50% LTV with existing crypto investments i am unsure what the legislation around it is.
If it makes any difference, the 'loaned money' would be used to purchase income generating assets in Cryptocurrency.
Thanks!
Only if the LRBA rules could be met exactly.

In particular, see para 11 in above.
Best to ask your SMSF auditor if they would find the arrangement acceptable.
