Divly

The platform aims to simplify the complex world of crypto taxes, providing users with an accessible solution. Divly offers localized tax returns in Europe with a strong focus on the Nordic countries, the Netherlands, Japan, and Germany. ^[2]

When asked the reason behind Divly, Carl Gärdsell said in an interview:

“We see a big problem in declaring crypto and are convinced our product will make it easier. Determining what you must declare for each transaction can be overwhelming and time-consuming. If you are not an accountant, tax lawyer, or programmer and have many transactions, you have little chance of doing this manually yourself.”

In March 2023, Divly raised $400,000 in a fundraiser. The investment was joined by DHS Venture Partners, Greens Ventures, and YEoS Ventures. Following the close of the round, Divly declared plans to bolster its growth and expand its reach to more investors globally. ^[3]

Divly has formed partnerships with several organizations such as Safello, Coinmotion, and Trijo, among others, to provide global users with cryptocurrency tax assistance. Divly's product offerings include a crypto tax platform, the ability to import transactions from various wallets and exchanges, flexible pricing options, and a professional tax suite designed for accountants. ^[4]
