transaction_subtype standardises exchange transaction types
Exchanges name the same activity differently — one calls it a trade, another a
swap, another a conversion — which makes tax and accounting work painful. A new
transaction_subtype field normalises those names across connectors.
What you get
transaction_subtypeon Binance, Coinbase, Kraken, Crypto.com, Gemini and KuCointransaction_typeandmisc.origin_typeare unchanged — the broad type and the exchange's own raw label are both still there
Action required
None — this is additive. If you match on misc.origin_type today, the new field
is likely to be the one you want instead, since it does not vary by exchange.
More connectors are being added; tell us if one you use is missing a subtype.
