The end of April, the PIT-38 settlement deadline is breathing down your neck, and only now do you remember that you have cryptocurrencies on Kraken? Relax. You are not the first and, more importantly, this exchange really does not make your life difficult. Here’s where to look and what to click.
Web version: three clicks and you’re done
Log in to your account in your browser. In the upper right corner of the screen you will find your profile icon – a circle or avatar. Click on them and select from the menu Documents. This is where Kraken hides all of your activity history. Then select New export and decide what you need:
- Trades – history of concluded purchase and sale transactions on the spot market. Are you looking for specific orders? You’ll find them here.
- Register (Ledgers) – full history of operations: deposits, withdrawals, transaction fees. And here’s the catch that many forget: if you used the quick buy/sell function outside the standard spot, you will find these operations only in the Register. Trades will not include them.
Date range? One click, no messing with the calendar
A report on the Kraken exchange is ready in seconds – literally
Once you have selected the document type and date range, click “Generate” and… you can download the file almost immediately. The waiting time for Kraken is a matter of seconds. For comparison – on some competing platforms, generating a report can take several to several dozen minutes, especially with a large number of transactions. There is no such problem here.
