Kraken to CoinLedger
Download your Kraken history, drop it in below, and you get a file in CoinLedger's own import layout plus a list of anything that needs a manual fix.
Your file is read in this browser tab and never uploaded.
1. Export from Kraken
Open your profile menu, then Documents, Exports and Create Export. Choose Ledgers, set the start and end dates, keep all fields and pick CSV. Kraken says an export can take from a few minutes to several days and doesn't email you, so check the Exports page. If the download is a zip, use the ledgers.csv inside it.
2. What changes in the file
| Column in the export | What we take from it |
|---|---|
txid | Kraken's entry number. Lines without one haven't settled yet and are skipped. |
refid | Links the two lines of a trade (or a spend and receive pair). |

type / subtype | trade, spend, receive, deposit, withdrawal, staking, earn reward. Moves between your own Kraken accounts are skipped. |
asset | Kraken code, translated to a plain ticker (XXBT to BTC, ZUSD to USD, DOT.S to DOT). |

In CoinLedger, open Import, choose Manual import or Universal template, and upload the converted CSV.
Known problems with this pair
- Staking rewards are labelled as Staking. Kraken charges fees on the received side of some trades; the converter keeps the fee in the asset it was charged in.
