Common issues with importing transactions from Deribit

Deribit API will only sync deposits, withdrawals, and profit and loss data. If you notice that your trades and swaps data isn’t available, just note that the API doesn’t support this. As such, the best option is to use the CSV import option.

While downloading the CSV file, Deribit provides the transaction data for Bitcoin and Ethereum separately. Users must therefore download two CSV files for each crypto asset. Also, for those with very active trading history data, it may take longer if you try to download the entire data all at once. Instead, download separate files for each month of the year you’re trying to file taxes for.
