What does Ethereum=E2=80=99s Shapella upgrade mean for ETH holders?
Last September, the Ethereum blockchain completed the Merge=20

system. While the update was a major milestone for Ethereum=E2=80=99s unde=
rlying=20
economics and scalability, one key loose-end remained =E2=80=94 the ability=
to=20
=E2=80=9Cunstake=E2=80=9D (withdraw) staked ether. Now, the Shapella upgrad=

April 12, aims to finally enable holders of staked ETH to withdraw their as=
sets.
Here is what you need to know about Shapella and what it means for ETH hold=
ers=20
and the future of the Ethereum network. Let=E2=80=99s dive in.
What is the Shapella upgrade?
* Shapella refers to the simultaneous Shanghai and Capella upgrades, slate=
d=20
to go live next week on April 12. Shanghai will update Ethereum=E2=80=99s =
=E2=80=9Cexecution=20

are following those rules.
* Shanghai will primarily enable users to withdraw staked ETH and staking=

* Capella is a concurrent upgrade that applies to network validators =E2=
=80=94 the=20
primary goal is to make sure Shanghai succeeds.
How do you withdraw staked ETH?
* Coinbase customers who want to unstake their ETH can make unstaking=20
requests within roughly 24 hours after the upgrade. All requests are proces=
sed=20
directly on-chain, meaning Coinbase will pass unstaked ETH to customers onc=
e=20

months to process unstaking requests immediately following the upgrade. (Le=

* Other staking intermediaries (like exchanges and protocols=20

What could happen to ETH=E2=80=99s price after Shapella?

confidently and set yourself up for success. Here are some key basics you=
=E2=80=99ll=20
need to know.
* Many types of crypto transactions are taxable events=20
<https://www.coinbase.com/learn/crypto-basics/understanding-crypto-taxes>, =
each=20
with its own set of rules and exceptions. If you sold, converted, spent,=20
earned, or staked crypto, for example =E2=80=94 you=E2=80=99ll need to repo=
rt your transactions=20
to the IRS.
* Your crypto gains are taxed at different rates, either as capital gains=
=20
<https://www.coinbase.com/learn/your-crypto/understanding-capital-gains> or=
as=20
ordinary income=20
<https://www.coinbase.com/learn/your-crypto/understanding-crypto-income>,=
=20
depending on how you got your crypto and how long you held on to it, among=
=20
other factors. The IRS treats selling crypto a lot like selling stock =E2=
=80=94 you=E2=80=99ll=20
generally pay a lower rate if you held onto it for a year or more before yo=
u=20
sold it.
* Converting crypto, like swapping BTC for ETH, is taxable. This is becaus=
e=20
you=E2=80=99ve technically sold your BTC to buy ETH, =E2=80=9Crealizing=E2=
=80=9D either a gain or a=20
loss.Same goes for spending. If you bought $10,000 in BTC and, after its va=
lue=20
increased to $30,000, used your BTC to buy a car worth $30,000 =E2=80=94 yo=
u=E2=80=99ll have a=20
taxable gain.
* Simply buying crypto with cash isn=E2=80=99t taxable, so you won=E2=80=
=99t have to report=20
it on your federal tax return. You also won=E2=80=99t need to report transf=
erring coins=20
between wallets you own or gifting up to $16,000 (for 2022) in crypto to a=
=20
friend or family member. And if you=E2=80=99ve donated crypto directly to a=
