Could you elaborate on the tax implications of converting Ethereum (ETH) to centralized-backed Ethereum (cbETH)? As a cryptocurrency investor, I'm always mindful of potential tax obligations. Is this type of conversion subject to capital gains tax, income tax, or some other form of taxation? Are there any specific tax rules or regulations that govern this type of digital asset exchange? And how do I ensure that I'm complying with all relevant tax regulations in my jurisdiction? Your insights would be greatly appreciated.

Regarding the taxation of ongoing rewards for holding cbETH, it is important to note that such rewards become taxable when the conversion rate of cbETH increases.

This taxation occurs based on the appreciation in value achieved through the increase in the conversion rate.

To determine the taxable amount, the market price of ETH and the conversion rate of cbETH to ETH are taken into account.
