As crypto portfolios become increasingly diversified across exchanges, wallets, DeFi protocols, and NFT marketplaces, portfolio management complexity grows significantly. Beyond performance tracking, the tax documentation of transactions has become a key focus of regulatory requirements.

CoinTracking positions itself as a specialized portfolio and tax analysis platform that enables users to centrally record, evaluate, and prepare all crypto transactions for tax purposes.

The software is designed for both private investors and professional traders, companies, and tax advisors.
