Wrapped ETH and liquid staking IOU tokens may be non-taxable or taxable depending on how the token functions.
Ben explains that wrapping ETH into wETH is commonly treated as non-taxable because wETH is essentially the same as ETH in function and value.
For other wrapped or liquid staking tokens, the tax treatment depends on whether the token is simply a receipt for deposited ETH or whether it functions differently, trades independently, or has a different value, in which case it may be treated as a taxable transaction.
