01

GET THE SOURCE FILE

Export the Coinbase transaction history

Coinbase’s current help directs customers to its Statements page. It says you can download an existing monthly statement as CSV or generate a custom statement by asset, transaction type and date.

  1. Use Coinbase’s current instructions.Menus change; the official help page is the safer source for today’s route.
  2. Choose CSV and the period you need to review.Earlier acquisitions can affect the interpretation of later holdings and disposals.
  3. Keep an untouched original.Work from a copy if you need to inspect or reconcile the file separately.

BEFORE YOU IMPORT

Check what the file does not know

A transaction export is evidence from one account and one report format. It is not automatically a complete history of every wallet, exchange or off-platform transfer you have used.

Coverage

Confirm the dates, assets and transaction types match the period you intended to export.

Transfers

Assets moved to or from another venue may need records from that other source.

Corrections

If the statement itself looks wrong, reconcile it with Coinbase before relying on the result.

Privacy

Never send an unredacted transaction export, wallet address, seed phrase, private key, password or API key. Do not upload the file to an untrusted conversion site.

INSIDE CRYPTO ANALYZER

Try the demo, then choose your file

If you want to learn the interface first, choose “Try Demo Data” inside the app. When you are ready, use the file-based import and select the supported Coinbase transaction-history CSV from Files.

Crypto Analyzer does not ask for your Coinbase password or trading access. Read the full boundaries in the privacy section.

Network boundary

Public market-data and FX providers may receive limited request and connection data, such as symbols, dates, quote currencies, an IP address, and device or usage metadata, under their own policies. If you configure a provider-specific market-data API key, it is sent only to that provider for those requests.

READ THE RESULT

Treat the output as a review surface, not a verdict

The app can turn supported rows into a record-derived portfolio view, group imported fees, label estimates for other trading friction, track FIFO purchase lots and export readable records. Those outputs still depend on the source file and the assumptions behind the calculation.

  • File-based Coinbase transaction-history import
  • On-device portfolio and fee analysis
  • FIFO purchase-lot records and profit/loss exploration
  • PDF, CSV, Markdown and text exports
Check material figures independently.

Crypto Analyzer is an analysis and record-keeping tool. It does not provide financial, investment, tax or legal advice, submit returns, or determine your obligations. Crypto assets are volatile, and imported or estimated data can be incomplete or wrong. Check important figures independently and use your own judgement.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Before you rely on the import

Does importing a CSV connect Crypto Analyzer to Coinbase?

No. You choose a file. The app does not require an exchange login or trading access.

Does the CSV prove my current balance?

No. The view is derived from the rows in the selected export. Missing periods, external wallets, unsupported activity or incorrect rows can change the result.

Is FIFO output a tax return?

No. FIFO purchase-lot records and profit/loss exploration are review tools. Crypto Analyzer does not submit returns or determine your obligations.

TROUBLESHOOTING

If the file is not recognised

  • Confirm it is a Coinbase transaction-history CSV, not a PDF or unrelated tax document.
  • Confirm the export covers the dates needed for the records you are reviewing.
  • Try “Try Demo Data” to distinguish an import problem from a general app problem.
  • Keep the exact error text and note your app version and device OS.

Still stuck? Email support, but never send an unredacted transaction export, wallet address, seed phrase, private key, password or api key.
