They don’t have impact unless you sell or cash out.

The same goes for many other assets you pay cgt only when the profit is realized.

No, you don’t ever pay cgt on gains in an isa, that’s the whole point of them. So if you could hold bitcoin (at the moment only an etf is possible), there are no taxes on gains.
