   This site is a plug for Kraken, Misunderstands Prime

   The lowest trading volume tier is $1M-$20M a month -- totally different league. Also the fees start at .18% for takers and .08% for makers, quickly going down to near zero for institutions with large AUMs. Prime routes orders dynamically for optimal execution, including fees, so the largely made up notion that Coinbase is not competitive on fees is once again so far off, the reality is the opposite this time: prime is a highly competitive product for an important investor class from a trusted company in a space most institutional investors find confusing and perceive as somewhat dodgy. Are there other firms out there with the crypto nous and, crucially, the size to offer comparable products? This page about Kraken sounds great for individual/retail investors, though Coinbase Pro is competitive (but Coinbase isn't), but Prime should not be reviewed here. There's no comparing those kinds of trading services with those provided for retail clients.

• Crypto Whale Moves $321,000,000 in Bitcoin in Single Transaction

  You use what's called a Prime Broker and execute an OTC (Over The Counter) trade. Coinbase has one: https://primebroker.coinbase.com/. Source: about 3 years ago

• I have some bitcoin that I don't intend on touching for a long time. What is the best way to ensure that I will be able to access them in 10+ years?

  Exchanges have their limits , coinbase does offer https://primebroker.coinbase.com/ for large amounts though. Source: about 3 years ago

• Coinbase has license to trade securities?

  I THINK their securities license covers their institutional services. Coinbase Prime. Source: about 3 years ago

• Withdrawing a large amount of fiat from an exchange

  I could be wrong though - it's worth looking into. But coinbase, who report to HMRC anyway, have an OTC - https://primebroker.coinbase.com/ - so it's not like "all OTCs are dodgy" at least. Source: about 3 years ago

• Tax Question. If i buy $1000 worth of crypto and sell 50% on a double and then let the balance ride. Am i exempt from paying tax on that transaction?

  Every transaction you make with crypto is a taxable event. Even buying something with your bitcoin is a taxable event. So instead of looking at your balance, you have to look at each and every transaction and see how much you paid for the asset, how much you sold it for, and how long you held it. The ATO will also want a report on your crypto transactions, which you can get from koinly.io. That will also... Source: 5 months ago

• 48-nation bloc to crack down on using crypto assets to avoid tax

  Https://koinly.io/ is a popular recommendation here in Denmark. Denmark may have the worst possible taxation for crypto: every time you sell, use or convert your crypto, that's an event where you have to calculate your gains or losses. Gains are taxed like personal income (so up to 53% tax), but losses can only be deducted at 26% they do not offset the gains directly. A school teacher speculating in crypto ended... - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• Questions about defi

  -is it possible to track swaps and trades I'm making in defi via koinly.io or another tax tracking provider? I want to take advantage of long term capital gains vs short term whenever possible. Source: 10 months ago

• I made around 90K profit from a meme coin (crypto)recently and I’m 18 years old and have no idea how to go about taxes. Please help me . Also what could I do with my profits ?

  Every trade where you go from 1 coin to another is a capital gains event. Take a look into https://koinly.io/ to calculate it for you. Source: 11 months ago

• Staked ETH Rewards on Coinbase

  I just bit the bullet and pay koinly.io to do it for me. The one thing I like about it is you can tag staked transaction (eth to eth2) as swaps so they don't show up on your taxes. It's actually free until you want them to generate a tax form for you. Source: almost 1 year ago
