  • Captures crypto activity automatically through API connections
  • Calculates realized gain / loss amounts
  • Balance reports as of a particular date in time for Mark to Market
  • Good onboarding support and troubleshooting issues
  • Bitwave can seemingly miss picking up some transactions due to glitches, but if you discover them, they can resolve them.
  • Ability to re-sync transactions to ERP if there are changes, without having to delete said transaction in ERP first
Needed a platform that integrated with NetSuite and consolidated crypto activity for accounting purposes.
Bitwave has Solana Chain support. NetSuite integration support. these others did not have both of these at the time of our discovery process.

  • Sync with Quickbooks
  • Customer Service
  • ability to set constant pricing (ie USD stablecoin)
  • speed of refresh
Great crypto accounting software. Great customer support when there are issues or we have questions. The integration with Quickbooks Online works seamlessly. I would recommend Bitwave. It would be nice to have the ability to set a default price for stablecoins so that it doesn't have to be manually overridden. At times, the platform takes some time to load.

  • Gain / Loss Accounting and Cost Basis Determination
  • Automatic sync with supported chains
  • Taking tons of transaction data and putting into a readable format
  • Support more chains for automatic retrieval
  • Improve API integration with centralized exchanges
  • Improve integration with Quickbooks as it relates to making adjustments after data push
If you are mainly using Bitcoin, ERC-20 tokens, or any supported chains where they have automatic data retrieval the system is great. The biggest issue, which Bitwave is constantly working on, is not supporting automatic transaction retrieval of specific crypto blockchains. They currently have a workaround by allowing manual uploads of unsupported chains (i.e., layer two chains like Arbitrum or Cosmos-based chains). The Bitwave platform still works excellently with unsupported chains; however, it is just a little more time-consuming b/c transactions are inputted using a CSV file that needs to be correct. But I imagine they will continue to add new supported chains, and since I have been a customer, I have seen the number of blockchains they support at least double.
Legible was similar service but too high in pricing. Coinpanda was able to support some chains that Bitwave wasn't able to automatically support; however, Coinpanda was a less professionalized operation with less customer support.
I would make sure the provider is able to support the chains (i.e. ETH layer 2's like Arbitrum or any Cosmos SDK chain like Osmosis) that I use on a day-to-day basis. Bitwave is working on coming up with those offerings.

  • Ability to categorize taxable and non-taxable transactions.
  • Able to handle DeFi transactions.
  • Documentation support to track digital asset balances & locations.
  • Can read token transaction activity better than most wallet explorers.
  • Automation support for more alt blockchains (can still track manually).
  • Automation support for more DeFi protocols (can still track manually).
  • Bulk classification options (but it does auto-categorize transaction fees-very helpful).
Bitwave is designed for companies or high net worth individual with a significant amount of digital asset transactions & activity. It is not meant for the individual trader that has a few investments in crypto. Bitwave is really meant to be used where digital currency assets are fully utilized by the company and used for expenses, revenue, and capital investments. It most closely reminds me of Quickbooks online with its bank & credit card integration. Bitwave will produce a list of transactions, and the user goes through each transaction to link it to the appropriate account on the chart of accounts. Then my recommendation is to create a snapshot of all the company digital wallets and audit the Bitwave balance report against those snapshots to ensure that all token have been properly recorded, just like a bank reconciliation. So my recommendation is to use Bitwave if you use digital assets like a bank account and need to record the activity to a G/L.
I don't want to tear apart a competitor, but I have used & evaluated a number of digital asset tracking systems. The biggest issues I found with most other products is simply that the product did not correctly record transactions. Some digital transaction can involve many wallets & multiple tokens, and I found it common that only the first actions would be captures while the remaining completely ignored. This led to the token balances to be off, and it was a nightmare to try and correct because the products did not have a manual option to adjust or fix transactions. The other biggest complaint is that all token transfers were considered taxable events, and so the products would calculate capital gains as tokens were transferred back and forth between company wallets at whatever the tokens were trading at for that day. This makes proper capital gains next to impossible without the ability to mark transactions as taxable and non-taxable like Bitwave does.
