The 3 Most Common Causes of "Missing History"

Blockpit shows "Missing History" when import data is missing for the period before the first recorded transaction. TX-Partner sees these scenarios most frequently.

01_EXCHANGE_IMPORTS

Fehlende Exchange-Imports

Older exchange accounts were not connected. Coins came from an exchange that is not imported. Especially for platforms that are no longer actively used, years of transaction history are often missing.

02_MISSING_SOURCES

Missing Data Sources

Exchanges and wallets that were not imported into Blockpit are completely missing from the crypto documentation. Particularly common: older exchange accounts, wallets on other chains, or platforms that were only briefly used. Blockpit sees the incoming transaction but not the source.

03_MANUELLE_EINTRAEGE

Manual Entries & Auto-Balancing

Users often try to fill gaps with manual entries or use Blockpit's "Auto-Balancing" function. Both methods create transactions with a cost basis of 0 EUR. The problem is visually solved, but the tax error remains: every sale is calculated as a full gain.

Missing History = Incorrect Tax Calculation

Crypto tax tools calculate based on imported transactions. If the crypto documentation has gaps, Blockpit sets the cost basis to 0 euros and every sale is treated as a gain.

Frequently Asked Questions

Was bedeutet "Fehlende Historie" in Blockpit?

Blockpit shows this warning when transactions for an asset are missing that occurred before the first recorded transaction. The tool then sets a cost basis of 0 EUR – on a later sale, the entire proceeds are calculated as taxable gain, even though the assets were originally purchased.

Can missing history be added retroactively?

Yes. In most cases, missing transactions can be reconstructed using on-chain data, CSV exports from exchanges, or manual entries. The key is that all sources are systematically identified and the transaction history is built up completely.
