Whether for personal bookkeeping, tax reporting, or audit compliance, you may need to export your Binance trading data. Binance supports exporting multiple types of records — the process isn't complicated, but you need to know where to find it.
What Data Can Be Exported?
Binance allows export of the following record types:
- Spot trading records: Detailed information for all spot buy/sell orders
- Futures trading records: Details of all futures opens and closes
- Deposit records: Time, coin, amount, and source address for all deposits
- Withdrawal records: Time, coin, amount, and destination address for all withdrawals
- C2C trading records: Details of fiat buy/sell transactions
- Distribution/interest records: Earn yields, airdrops, and other credited income
- Fee records: Fee details for all trades
If you don't have a Binance account yet, register on Binance first.
Export Methods
Method 1: Web Export (Recommended)
- Log into the Binance website
- Go to "Orders" -> "Trade History"
- Select the record type to export (spot/futures/deposits/withdrawals, etc.)
- Set the time range
- Click "Export"
- Choose the export format (usually CSV)
- The system generates the file — download it from the "Export Records" page
Alternatively: Wallet -> Transaction History -> Generate comprehensive fund flow reports
Method 2: App Export
The app can also export some records:
- Assets -> Orders/Records
- Select record type
- Set filter criteria
- Export to email
The app's export function may be less comprehensive than the web version — for large data volumes, use the web.
Method 3: Via API
For automated data retrieval (e.g., regular sync to accounting software), use the API:
/api/v3/myTrades: Spot trading records/fapi/v1/userTrades: Futures trading records/sapi/v1/capital/deposit/hisrec: Deposit records/sapi/v1/capital/withdraw/history: Withdrawal records
Exported Data Format
Exported CSV files typically contain:
Spot trading records:
- Trade time
- Trading pair
- Direction (buy/sell)
- Price
- Quantity
- Total amount
- Fee
- Fee currency
Deposit/withdrawal records:
- Time
- Coin
- Quantity
- Status
- Address
- Transaction hash
- Network
Tax Considerations
Tax regulations for cryptocurrency vary by country. Commonly reportable items include:
Capital gains The difference between buy and sell prices. Requires tracking cost basis for each purchase and proceeds from each sale.
Income Includes earn interest, airdrops, staking rewards, etc. These are typically reported as income at market value when received.
Trading fees In some tax jurisdictions, fees can be deducted as costs.
Third-Party Tax Tools
Manually calculating crypto taxes is extremely complex (frequent trades across multiple coins). Recommended professional tools:
- CoinTracker: Supports automatic Binance data import
- Koinly: Supports Binance API connection
- TokenTax: Professional crypto tax calculation tool
These tools can connect to your Binance API (read-only permissions needed), automatically pull all trading data, and compute your taxes.
Important Notes
- Time range limits: Single exports may have time span restrictions (e.g., max 3 months) — export in segments if needed
- Processing time: Large data exports take time to generate; download within the validity window
- Data completeness: Ensure the exported time range covers all relevant transactions
- Save exported files: Export regularly (monthly or quarterly) and archive
- API export is more flexible: For high-frequency traders, regular API syncs are more efficient than manual exports
Build the habit of regularly exporting your trading data. Don't wait until tax season or an urgent need — dealing with massive amounts of data at the last minute is a headache.
