Bittrex is gone. The US business wound down in 2023 and filed for bankruptcy protection; Bittrex Global announced its own wind-down later that year and is being liquidated. The site now shows a farewell notice.
If you are here because you traded on Bittrex and now need the history for a tax return, that is the useful question and it has a practical answer. If you are here about money still stuck there, the honest answer is harder: the claims process for Bittrex Global creditors ran on a fixed timetable that closed, and the liquidators have said funds not withdrawn during that window are not recoverable.
So this page is about your records, not your balance.
What you get out of the box
Pick your import method.
Finding your history
- Look for an export you already took. Any CSV of your Bittrex order history is the best starting point, whatever year you saved it.
- Check old email for statements or confirmations. They will not replace an export, but they establish dates and amounts.
- Reconstruct from the other side. Deposits and withdrawals happened on a blockchain, so adding the wallets you sent to and from recovers the movements even without the exchange.
- If you had a balance and unresolved claim, contact the liquidators handling the relevant Bittrex entity rather than the exchange itself.
On Kryptos
- Go to Kryptos.io and sign up with your Google account.
- From the menu, click Integrations.
- Click Add Integration and search for Bittrex.
- Upload the files you exported. If your API key still works, Import using API Keys pulls everything in one go instead.
- Check the imported totals against your own records before the exchange goes, while you can still look something up.
Good to know
- Bittrex US and Bittrex Global were separate businesses wound down separately, so which one you used decides who to contact.
- The Bittrex Global creditor claims window closed in December 2024, and the distribution window that followed has also passed.
- Even without a balance, an export of your history is worth keeping. A closed exchange cannot reissue it.
- Your on-chain deposits and withdrawals are still recoverable from the blockchain, which is often enough to anchor what you held.
What a closed exchange means for your return
The tax does not disappear when the exchange does. Trades you made in 2021 or 2022 still belong in those years, and if you later sell coins that came out of Bittrex, what they cost you still decides the gain.
That is why the export matters more than it seems. Without it, coins sitting in your wallet have no purchase price attached, and a later sale can end up taxed on the entire proceeds because there is nothing to prove otherwise.
Rebuild what you can: your own wallet history for the movements, old emails for dates, and any export you kept for the trades. For how disposals and losses are treated where you file, see the USA crypto tax guide or the UK crypto tax guide.

A history the exchange can no longer give you
If you saved an export while Bittrex was running, it still imports fine. That file is now the only copy, so treat it accordingly.
Rebuilding from the blockchain
Deposits and withdrawals were on-chain, so adding the wallets you used recovers the movements. It will not give you the trades, but it anchors what went in and what came out.
Losses supported by evidence
If assets were never recovered, what matters is a record of what you held and what you did about it. That is what a loss claim rests on.
Audit-ready, automatically.
Once your wallets and exchanges are connected, generating a tax report takes a single click. Open Reports from the menu, choose your jurisdiction, and download.
Old trades still belong in old years
An exchange closing does not undo the years you traded in. Those disposals belong in the returns for the years they fall in, whether or not you can still log in.
Unrecovered assets may be a loss
Where funds were genuinely not recoverable, that may be claimable. Rules differ by country and usually turn on showing the loss is real and final rather than merely delayed.
Missing cost data is the practical problem
Coins withdrawn to a wallet before the closure carry no purchase price with them. Without the Bittrex record, a later sale can look like pure profit, so any surviving evidence of what you paid is worth keeping.
Read-only by design.
- Create the key with read permission only, never withdrawal
- A read-only key can see your history but can't move funds
- Kryptos never asks for your password or login details
- Revoke the key on the exchange at any time and the connection stops
If something doesn't sync.
Rebuild what you can from your own wallets, which still hold the deposits and withdrawals on chain, and from any emailed confirmations. Partial records beat none.
Contact the liquidators for the entity you used rather than the exchange. Be aware the published claims and distribution windows have closed.
That is missing cost on coins that came from Bittrex. Any evidence of what you originally paid, however informal, is worth assembling.
