What is Bybit?

Bybit is a centralized crypto exchange where users buy, sell, and trade digital assets through spot markets, perpetual and futures contracts, options, and margin products. Many users also use Bybit for copy trading, trading bots, P2P transactions, and Earn products that generate rewards on supported assets. Because these trades, transfers, and earnings may need to be reported for tax purposes, this guide explains how to organize your Bybit transaction history with Coinpanda.

How to do your Bybit taxes

You can easily report your Bybit taxes by connecting your Bybit account to Coinpanda using the API or by uploading a CSV file. Coinpanda automatically imports your transactions, calculates your capital gains and income, and generates ready-to-file tax reports for Bybit.

The API keys created will automatically expire after 90 days. To avoid creating new API keys every three months, click “Edit” and “Submit” to reactivate the existing API keys. If you get an error after syncing, please check that the API keys are still active before contacting Coinpanda support.

Spot trades can only be imported from the last six months (183 days). If you are importing from API, you must also upload a CSV if you have older spot trades than this.

Does Bybit provide tax documents?

Typically, exchanges don't provide finalized tax documents for their customers, and Bybit is no exception. It's hard for an exchange to build tax logic that serves customers across many jurisdictions. Hence, it's more practical for a customer to use a tax platform like Coinpanda.

How are Bybit transactions taxed?

The exact tax implications on Bybit transactions depend on which country you live in and the type of transactions you have made. In general, you must pay either capital gains tax or income tax on your cryptocurrency transactions on Bybit.

  • Capital gains tax: Whenever you sell a cryptocurrency for more than you purchased it for, you generate a capital gain. On the other hand, if you sell the cryptocurrency for less than you paid initially, you have a capital loss, which can, in most cases, offset other gains.
  • Income tax: Earned cryptocurrency on Bybit, such as staking, interest, bonuses, and referral rewards, is typically treated as taxable income and must be reported on your tax return.

To learn more about how Bybit transactions are taxed in your country, we recommend reading our in-depth guides to cryptocurrency taxes.

How to file your Bybit taxes

First, you must calculate capital gains and income from all taxable transactions on Bybit. When you have this information ready, you can report capital gains and income together with other forms of income, such as employment and dividends, in your annual tax return.

To calculate your capital gains, you must first export a complete history of all transactions made on Bybit. Once you have this data, you can calculate your capital gains or losses by determining the price at which you bought the cryptocurrency (your cost basis) and the price at which you sold it (your proceeds). Luckily, Coinpanda can help you with this and generate ready-to-file tax forms quickly and easily.

After downloading your Bybit tax statements from Coinpanda, the last step is to report the capital gains and income on your tax return before the deadline. Most countries allow you to self-declare taxes online in 2026, but you can also get help from a professional tax accountant to file taxes for you.

To get the best help from Coinpanda support, you must first identify which transactions are missing or incorrectly imported. To do this, we recommend comparing your transaction history on Bybit with the transactions imported into your Coinpanda account.
