History
CoinLedger, formerly known as CryptoTrader.Tax, was founded in 2018 by David Kemmerer, Lucas Wyland, and Mitchell Cookson. CoinLedger was established in response to the founders' personal difficulties with in reporting over 120,000 trades conducted through arbitrage investing. CoinLedger was designed to help cryptocurrency investors report their transactions across multiple wallets, exchanges, and protocols. Investors often use multiple cryptocurrency exchange platforms, resulting in disorganized transaction data. CoinLedger aggregates investors’ data from various platforms into a single tax report.

CoinLedger released its first version in the spring of 2018 in the United States market. In December 2021, CoinLedger partnered with Voyager Digital to streamline crypto tax reporting for users. In February 2022, CoinLedger raised $6 million to expand its cryptocurrency tax software into portfolio management and accounting software. The funding round included investors from the crypto and venture capital sectors, such as CMT Digital, DRW Venture Capital, FinTech Collective, Volt Capital, Voyager Digital, former Bakkt president Adam White, and The Block co-founder Mike Dudas.

In late 2022, CoinLedger introduced the NFT Loss Harvestor, a tool designed to help investors manage tax implications from declining NFT values, enabling investors to realize losses on their NFT investments during NFT market downturns.

CoinLedger's value started gaining traction and perceived relevance when the IRS sent warning notices to crypto holders, often with inaccuracies, due to the complex nature of crypto transactions.
