Questions
BloFin, answered.
Does BloFin report my trades to the tax office?
Reporting depends on where BloFin is regulated and where you live, so don’t rely on it. Your return has to include every sale and swap across all your platforms, which is what HashBooks brings together.
How are BloFin futures and perpetuals taxed?
Closing a position realises a gain or loss, and funding you pay or receive adds to or reduces your result. HashBooks imports both from BloFin and reports them under your country’s rules; the tax section above shows how your country treats them.
Can I connect BloFin by API?
Not today. BloFin’s API keys need a passphrase as well as a key and secret, and HashBooks’ connection takes the key and secret only. Download your history and upload it with the HashBooks template instead; when the connection becomes possible, the same ledger simply carries on.
How do I get my BloFin transaction history for taxes?
Download your trade, deposit and withdrawal history from BloFin and upload it to HashBooks with the CSV / Excel template. You see a preview before anything is saved.
Which HashBooks plan do I need for BloFin?
Connecting BloFin and seeing an estimated tax summary is free for up to 100 transactions across 3 connections. Filing reports for your country start on the Starter plan; see pricing.
Does HashBooks connect to my BloFin account?
No. With a file upload there’s no key, password or link to BloFin at all: HashBooks reads the rows you upload and nothing else.
