In such a transaction, capital gains or losses are realized based on the value of the incoming coin.

This means that if you trade Bitcoin (BTC) for Tether (USDT), for instance, a taxable event arises.

The taxable event is determined by the value of the BTC at the time of acquisition and the value at the time of sale.

Any difference between these two values will be subject to capital gains tax if the value has increased, or a capital loss if it has decreased.
