IRS Rev. Rul. 2023-14 made PoS rewards taxable at dominion and control, so validators and exchange staking desks have been carrying tax risk before any actual exit. Sale-only treatment would cut forced selling from Lido/Coinbase/Rocket Pool-style reward flows and make compounding cleaner, but it also gives inflation-heavy chains a cleaner path to defer tax until emissions are dumped. Good for ETH’s validator economics; less obviously clean for protocols that call dilution “yield.”
