What is a TRADE transaction?

A trade transaction in cryptocurrency refers to the exchange of one asset for another—this could be between two cryptocurrencies (e.g., ETH for BTC), or between a cryptocurrency and fiat currency (e.g., BTC for EUR).

If the transaction didn't take place on one of the sources you automatically connected to CryptoBooks, or it wasn't provided by the API or CSV file, you can manually add it in order to have your accountability correct.

Examples:

  • Swapping 1 ETH for 0.03 BTC

  • Selling 0.5 BTC for €45,000

  • Exchanging 100 USDT for 98 DAI
