What is Concentrated liquidity?

Liquidity supplied within a selected price range, allowing a provider to concentrate capital where trades occur.

Why it matters on your return

Concentrated positions (Uniswap v3 and similar) are represented by an NFT and are rebalanced often, and each rebalance is a withdrawal and a new deposit. Under the common position, each of those is an exchange, so an active provider can generate dozens of taxable events a month.

Example

You open an ETH/USDC position in a tight range, and the price moves out of it three times in a month. Each rebalance closes the position (a disposal of the LP NFT for the underlying tokens) and opens a new one.

Is rebalancing a concentrated liquidity position taxable?

Under the common position, yes: the withdrawal is a disposal of the position and the redeposit is a new acquisition. Fees collected are income.
