How Does a Capital Gain Tax Typically Treat Impermanent Loss?

Tax treatment varies by jurisdiction, but generally, impermanent loss is not a deductible event until it is "realized." The loss is realized when the liquidity provider withdraws their tokens from the pool and the resulting portfolio value is less than the initial deposited value. At this point, the difference can often be claimed as a capital loss to offset capital gains.
