Where does the price data come from?

We use the CryptoCompare CCCAGG (CryptoCompare Current Aggregate) index, which aggregates real-time trade data from 80+ regulated exchanges including Binance, Coinbase, Kraken, Bitstamp, and Gemini. This gives a more accurate global mid-market price than any single exchange.

Why does the price differ from my exchange?

Each exchange has its own order book and slightly different prices based on local liquidity. The aggregated index is the volume-weighted average across many exchanges, which usually sits within 0.1–0.5% of any major exchange price.

Can I convert between any two cryptocurrencies?

Yes — pick any two coins from the top 50 in the converter. Behind the scenes we calculate the cross-rate using each coin's live USD price, then apply your input amount.

What is market cap, and why does it matter?

Market capitalization is the total value of a cryptocurrency's circulating supply (price × supply). It's the standard measure for ranking the relative size of crypto assets — Bitcoin has the largest market cap, followed by Ethereum.

Is this crypto data free to use?

Yes. This page is completely free, no signup, no ads. Data is sourced from CryptoCompare's free public API.

How the converter works

The crypto-to-crypto converter computes the cross-rate by taking each coin's USD-denominated price and dividing them. For example, to convert BTC → ETH, we calculate btc_usd_price ÷ eth_usd_price to get the live BTC/ETH rate.
