How do you actually handle swaps from e.g. $BTC (-1,18 %) to $USDC (-0,3 %) or other stablecoins in Getquin? It's not really a sale, especially as I'm planning to reinvest the amount. I created a transaction in USDC and took the cost basis (profit) with me, but somehow the $BTC (-1,18 %) decrease. If I also enter a sale, I have realized a profit, although this is not correct. I would be very happy to receive tips from you or that Getquin integrates a solution for this. Thank you very much.

Why shouldn't that be a sale?

@FairValue No realized profit. If the Bitcoin continues to fall and I swap back, then I want the cost basis to be taken along. Let's say I bought Bitcoin with a cost basis of 50,000, it has risen to 90,000 and I swap to USDC. If Bitcoin then falls to 70,000 and I swap back, the cost basis is of course lower than 70,000. But maybe I'm thinking wrong.

@MrVice Yes, that is a mistake. An exchange into a stablecoin is more or less the same as an exchange into euros, dollars, etc., i.e. a sale with possible realization of a profit (according to individual valuation or FIFO principle)
If you buy BTC for 50k, it rises to 90k and you exchange into USDC, you realize a profit of 40k at that moment.

@FairValue In Austria, USDC is treated like any other cryptocurrency, there are no taxes unless you sell it for euros or buy goods / services from it.

@PowerWordChill That's the crux of the matter. I should have mentioned that I am Austrian.

@PowerWordChill Ah pardon, I didn't see that it was about Austria.

@PowerWordChill How would you handle this? My idea would be to have only one transaction per coin and to change the respective cost basis if necessary. I determine the cost basis with Blockpit.

@MrVice Unfortunately, I can't help you with that.
I have not dealt with this issue as I hold tax-free old stock. 😅
