Hotbit is a popular global crypto exchange with a range of investment options to suit every investor including spot and ETF trading, with more than 2877 cryptocurrencies on offer. Whatever your investments, Koinly can help with your Hotbit taxes.

How are Hotbit transactions taxed?

Crypto tax varies depending on where you live and your tax office's take on it. This said, in general two kinds of tax may apply to your Hotbit transactions - Income Tax and Capital Gains Tax.

  • Capital Gains Tax: When you sell or swap crypto on Hotbit, you'll likely pay Capital Gains Tax on any profits.
  • Income Tax: When you earn new coins or tokens on Hotbit - like through Hotbit events and airdrops - you'll likely need to pay Income Tax upon receipt of new tokens.

Does Hotbit provide tax documents?

No. Hotbit does not issue tax documents for users, instead, you'll need to get your Hotbit transaction history to calculate your taxes. You can do this yourself, or use a crypto tax app like Koinly to calculate your taxes and generate your tax report for you.

How to connect Hotbit to Koinly via CSV

On Hotbit

  1. Log in to Hotbit.
  2. In the top right corner, select orders.
  3. Select a date range.
  4. Select export.
  5. Your Hotbit file will be formatted as an outdated excel file which does not work with Koinly. Open your downloaded file in your chosen app, like Google Sheets, and export it as a CSV file before uploading to Koinly.

  2. Select add new wallet: Hotbit.

Good to know
Your Hotbit export will not include your withdrawals and deposits. You'll need to add these transactions manually to Koinly.

Does Hotbit report to the IRS?

Hotbit doesn't require KYC for the majority of users, only users identified as high risk, like if they need to reset their 2FA settings. As such, it's unlikely Hotbit is reporting to the IRS or any other tax offices. This said, as a large centralized exchange, Hotbit is undoubtedly facing pressure to improve KYC processes in order to ensure tax compliance, so this could change quickly.
