HOW WE HELP

  • Estimate P&L With Fair Market Value Pricing

    Estimate P&L With Fair Market Value Pricing

    Cryptocurrencies have no single principal market for a reliable price – even the price of Bitcoin varies significantly from one exchange to another, making it hard to establish a consensus price. As a result, when executing intraday trades, it’s common for custodians to value an asset at “fair market value”, but then execute at a different price. Any profits or losses made from this valuation gap are liable for taxation, so in order to accurately predict liabilities and improve tax efficiency, the fair market value should match the execution price as closely as possible. Kaiko Fair Market Value pricing achieves this, using a mark-to-matrix methodology paired with real market data sourced from multiple exchanges to ensure accurate pricing that aligns with real market conditions.
