Tax reporting platform CoinLedger announces Polygon integration

CoinLedger, one of the biggest tax reporting platforms for NFT, DeFi, and cryptocurrency users, has officially integrated with the Polygon blockchain, Coin Journal learned from a press release

Now, users who interact with Polygon via wallets and dApps can automate their income tax, capital gains, and loss reporting. 

Direct integration with leading exchanges, wallets, blockchains 

CoinLedger was founded in 2018 with the purpose of limiting the friction of taking part in the cryptocurrency ecosystem by simplifying tax reporting as much as possible. It had 300,000 users at the time of writing. 

Tax reporting can be a nightmare due to the interoperable nature of digital assets and cryptocurrencies, with multichain transfers. 

CoinLedger does away with this issue through direct integration with leading chains, wallets, and exchanges to enable all cryptocurrency users to track their digital asset transaction history across the whole crypto ecosystem. 

David Kemmerer, CoinLedger Cofounder and CEO, said: 

We are excited to expand our accounting and tax reporting capabilities to the Polygon ecosystem. The myriad of apps built on Polygon and its transaction volume is astounding. We are thrilled to be able to unlock even more innovation within the ecosystem through seamless tax reporting for all.

Automatic import of transactions 

Users can import all historical transactions and account for them automatically by simply copying and pasting their Polygon wallet address to CoinLedger. They can generate full income tax reports and reports on capital gains and losses from there.

Coinbase secures approval from financial regulators in Italy

Coinbase can keep serving Italian customers after securing approval from Italian financial regulators, CoinDesk reported. The San Francisco-based exchange wrote on its website that the Organismo Agenti e Mediatori (OAM) had included a new requirement. 

All custodians or crypto exchanges had to fulfill the criteria if they wanted to continue offering services in Italy. Coinbase Vice President of International and Business Development Nana Murugesan commented: 

It’s critical to build a constructive relationship with regulators in every region where we operate. Obtaining this regulatory approval is proof of our cooperation and positive working relationship with the Italian financial regulators.

Growing presence across the Atlantic 

Coinbase has customers throughout Europe through dedicated hubs in Germany, the UK, and Ireland. The biggest US crypto exchange is in the process of augmenting its presence across Europe.

It has license applications or registrations in progress in a number of leading markets in compliance with local regulations. Its goal is to attract more customers in each of these markets by launching the Coinbase suite of the ecosystem, institutional, and retail products. 

Binance also obtained OAM approval 

Binance also obtained regulatory approval in Italy last month. Its CEO Changpeng Zhao said in a statement at the time:

Clear and effective regulation is key to the broad market adoption of crypto. We thank the OAM and the Ministry of Economy and Finance for their efforts in defining the requirements to do business transparently in Italy.

Binance had been banned in Italy

Less than a year ago, financial watchdog CONSOB termed Binance unauthorized. The world’s biggest exchange was also banned from offering Italian citizens derivatives. 

A few weeks ago, Binance obtained licenses in Dubai and Bahrain and secured regulatory approval in France.
