This is why the price here is actually correct
November 12, 2026
Please check, based on the following criteria, whether the acquisition price is correct:
1. Price determination
The acquisition value of an asset is calculated in different ways in chain.report. You can check the price of known assets on CoinmarketCap / CoinGecko. You can find more information in the article:" How does chain.report calculate prices?"
2. Expand disposals and check the individual prices
When you expand a disposal, you only see the average acquisition price there. A disposal can consist of several acquisition prices. You see each individual acquisition value when you click the eye.
3. Observe FIFO
You can determine the acquisition of a disposal by proceeding as in (2). There you will then also see the holding period of the individual acquisition. You can then find this transaction in the transactions and check it. Please also observe FIFO here, however: portions are passed on proportionally and are shifted or disposed of according to the FIFO sequence.
4. Warnings
In the case of untreated warnings on deposits, chain.report is forced to set the acquisition price to 0. You can find out how to deal with warnings in the article:" I see warnings in my account"
5. Value adjustment through counter-assets in trades
If you exchange two assets in a trade at an unequal value ratio, the value of the disposed asset also changes (important: not its acquisition, however).
Example:
If you exchange, for example, 1 BTC for 1 ETH, the disposal price of the BTC will, in later calculations, have the average acquisition price between 1 ETH and 1 BTC. And that deviates significantly from the expected coin price of BTC, because the exchange ratio does not match. You can find more information on this in the article linked in (1).
6. You have applied Austrian tax law
Under the new tax law, the acquisition value of the original transaction is used. Even if you have subsequently exchanged crypto for crypto in follow-up transactions. For different currencies, a conversion factor must be applied internally accordingly. An incorrect acquisition price of a transaction can accordingly affect substantial disposals carried out later that are no longer visibly connected to the original transaction.
Unfortunately, under Austrian tax law it is therefore not obvious which transaction is "to blame" for another incorrect disposal value.
We recommend a closer look here in order to trace the chain back and identify individual transactions that have incorrect pricing. Technically, this is usually not an error, but, for example, the result of a CoinmarketCap/CoinGecko price prioritization or another issue, such as the LUNA LUNC topic.
Conclusion:
In summary, this is not an error if these points have not been checked precisely. chain.report does not take on the plausibility check here. You can find more information on this in the chain.report Support Guide.
If, however, you need active support and checks, we will gladly take this on for you in a Professional package.
