As Shrimpy becomes a global portfolio management resource for cryptocurrency traders, it is becoming increasingly necessary for us to find ways to support additional currencies. That way everyone can view their portfolio in their own native currency without needing to adapt.

It’s been an exciting year for the Shrimpy team. Over the last 12 months, we’ve launched new features, updates, and even an entire new product (Developer APIs for Crypto Trading). This wouldn’t have been possible without the strong community which supports us every day.

The Shrimpy team is excited to announce the release of a “Weekly Shrimpy Report”. This weekly report will provide a brief summary of the notable events which took place over the last week. That way you can get a quick snapshot of big market changes, new asset listings, social stats, and more.

Pausing trading on your exchange account will mean no trades will be executed during the paused time. You won’t be able to trade for any reason, not even by pressing the “Rebalance Now” button. (Trading by directly logging into your exchange account and execution trades is of course still possible, but these trades won’t be executed by Shrimpy).

Cryptocurrency gains and losses tax reporting is a sensitive topic amongst traders. With a large number of rumors flying around, I thought it would be helpful to explain exactly how cryptocurrency gains and losses are taxed and discuss how traders using automated trading tools like Shimpy can automate the tax reporting process through the use of crypto tax software and crypto tax calculators like CryptoTrader.Tax.

Historically, there hasn’t been much to celebrate in August. Sure, there is the “International Beer Day” and “National Ice Cream Sandwich Day” which both happen to fall on August 2nd. But what are you going to celebrate besides that, “National Clown Day”? No thanks.
