Reporting crypto gains is mandatory in most of the world; Koinly turned 800+ integrations into the default way to file.
Will it work? · our read
Mandatory by law. But mandatory isn't urgent. Filing volume tracks the crypto cycle, and exchange-issued 1099-DA forms could commoditize the simple cases Koinly used to charge for.

koinly.io/media — company facts: 800+ integrations, 20+ countries.Koinly on LinkedIn (Jul 2023) — official post announcing 'over 1 million users'.koinly.io/pricing — per-tax-year plans ($49 Newbie / $99 Hodler / $199 Trader).Decrypt & Cointelegraph — 14% staff cut in the 2022 bear market; CEO cited fewer crypto filers.koinly.io/about & CB Insights — Koinly calls itself self-funded, but CB Insights/Crunchbase/Tracxn list KuCoin Labs as an investor; funding status unconfirmed.
Revenue is our estimate, not disclosed - Koinly has never published a figure; third-party aggregators cite roughly $6M/yr, and a 1M-user base (cumulative signups, not annual payers) at $49-199 per year is consistent with a mid-seven-to-low-eight-figure range, hence the wide band and not independently confirmed. Funding status is disputed: Koinly's own About page calls itself "self-funded with no investors to answer to," but Crunchbase, CB Insights and Tracxn each list one undisclosed funding round with KuCoin Labs as investor - we can't reconcile the two, so we no longer assert "bootstrapped" as fact. Founding year is cited as 2018 (public UK launch 2019). The 2022 layoff, roughly 225% prior headcount growth, and Robin Singh's 'fewer people reporting crypto' quote are documented in Decrypt/Cointelegraph. The framing that cyclicality (not the mandate) is the real risk, and that 1099-DA could commoditize simple cases, is [our read]. We never score you.
