1. What is the purpose of the Crypto PnL Analysis feature?

Crypto PnL Analysis feature helps users to view the profit and loss analysis of their crypto holdings and also supports profit and loss sharing of their crypto holdings.

PnL = (Last price - Average cost) * Current balance

PnL% = (Last price - Average cost) / Average cost
