Create Your Crypto Statement — £1Understand What You Need to Prove
Depending on your situation, you may need to prove one or more of the following:
- ✔Proof of income — Consistent incoming crypto payments over a period of time — useful for rental applications.
- ✔Proof of funds — A snapshot of your wallet balance on a specific date — required for mortgages and conveyancing.
- ✔Transaction history — A full dated log of activity — required for audits, AML checks, and tax reporting.
Know What Documents to Use — and Avoid
Most people try to prove crypto income with documents that are routinely rejected. Here's what not to use — and what to use instead:
Wallet screenshots
Can be faked. No transaction history. No GBP values.
Exchange PDFs only
Shows custodial activity only — misses any self-custody holdings.
Raw CSV exports
Machine-readable data, not a financial document institutions can review.
💡 Pro Tip — Show Both
If you hold crypto both on an exchange (e.g. Coinbase, Kraken) and in a self-custody wallet, submit both your exchange statement and your on-chain wallet statement. Together they show a complete, coherent picture of your crypto finances — and reduce the risk of your application being queried.
Use a Structured Statement
A proper crypto financial document should match what institutions expect from a traditional bank statement:
Opening balance
Your wallet balance at the start of the chosen period, in both crypto and GBP.
Full transaction log
Every incoming and outgoing transaction — dated, labelled, and with amounts in crypto and sterling.
Closing balance
Your wallet balance at the end of the period — showing current funds clearly.
Fiat equivalents
GBP (or USD/EUR) value for each transaction, calculated at the historical rate on that date.
Verification links
Links to each transaction on the public blockchain so anyone can independently confirm the data.

Common Questions
Is crypto income taxable in the UK?
Yes. HMRC treats cryptoassets as property, not currency. Most buying and selling is subject to Capital Gains Tax (CGT). However, income tax applies when you earn crypto — for example through staking rewards, DeFi interest, airdrop income, or if HMRC determines your activity constitutes a trade. The tax treatment depends on your specific circumstances, not simply on whether you used Bitcoin or Ethereum.
Will HMRC accept a CryptoBankStatement for tax purposes?
A CryptoBankStatement provides supporting documentation — a clear, dated, on-chain verifiable record of your wallet activity. It is a record-keeping tool, not a tax filing service. HMRC requires you to report cryptoasset disposals and income via Self Assessment. Our statement helps you (and your accountant) reconcile the on-chain data you are legally required to keep. The underlying data is sourced from the public blockchain — the same source HMRC would reference if investigating a discrepancy.
What is the difference between an exchange statement and a wallet statement?
An exchange statement (from Coinbase, Binance, Kraken, etc.) shows activity within that exchange only — it does not include transactions you made directly on-chain. A wallet statement shows your activity on the public blockchain regardless of what platform initiated the transaction. If you self-custody any crypto, only a wallet statement captures that activity. For a complete picture, submit both your exchange history and your wallet statement.
Do I need an accountant to present crypto income?
Not necessarily. A CryptoBankStatement gives your accountant a structured, verifiable data source they can work from directly. Rather than manually tracing transactions in a block explorer, your accountant receives a clean PDF or CSV with dates, amounts, and GBP values — reducing their time and your bill.
What coins and networks are supported?
We currently support Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum-based assets (ETH, USDT, USDC, and other ERC-20 tokens). Additional networks are on our roadmap. For ERC-20 tokens, enter your Ethereum wallet address — all token activity on that address is included in the statement.
