Realised I needed to report crypto-crypto transactions to HMRC. How far back do I need to report?

As per the title, I have been trading crypto since 2017. I have not 'cashed out' more than the capital gains tax free allowance into my bank during that period, however, I have now just learnt that crypto-crypto trades are taxable events and I will need to report these, and I am panicking.

At one stage, I was trading significant sums (50K-100K), with on-paper profit close to 200K. The market crashed and my portfolio value dissipated, I consolidated certain coins into Bitcoin to prevent hemmoraging in 2023 at a loss and have left it untouched since then.

I will be contacting HMRC this week, but I would like to know how far back I will need to report? In 2020, at peak activity I must have made 1000+ transactions which as you can imagine will be a bit of a pain to collate.

Is there a cutoff point for this kind of disclosure?
