Tool Overview & Key Purpose
Looks up prices for major cryptocurrencies and converts between quantity and value. Unlike equities there is no single closing price — quotes differ by exchange — so this is a representative reference figure, not a price you can execute at.
Step-by-Step Usage Instructions
1STEP 1
Pick a coin and enter either a quantity or a value.
2STEP 2
The other side converts at the price as of lookup.
3STEP 3
Changing the display currency also applies the exchange rate — a non-USD figure moves with both the coin and the FX rate.
4STEP 4
Check the timestamp: these are volatile assets and the number can shift within minutes.
Real-World Scenarios & Practical Cases
3 Practical CasesScenario #1
Valuing what you hold right now
Enter the quantity in your wallet to see its value at the current price. Selling deducts exchange fees (typically 0.05–0.5%) and a withdrawal fee on top.
Paper value and realisable value differ — on thin order books the price moves against you as you sell.Scenario #2
Turning a recurring buy into a quantity
Shows how much a fixed monthly amount buys at today’s price. As the price rises, the same amount buys less.
Compute from the amount after fees to get closer to the quantity that actually fills.Scenario #3
Seeing what a network fee costs as a percentage
When a network fee is charged as a fixed quantity, converting it to a value shows what share of the transfer it represents. On small transfers that share gets large.
Network fees rise and fall with congestion.Price source and latency
Value = quantity × price as of lookup
In another currency = USD value × the FX rate
Realisable ≈ value × (1 − trading fee) − withdrawal feePro Tips & Key Considerations
Quotes differ between exchanges at the same instant. If you plan to sell somewhere specific, read that venue’s book.Market cap is circulating supply times price — it is not money that has entered the market.Coins with many decimal places make it easy to misplace a digit; check the quantity twice before transferring.Tax treatment and cost-basis rules differ by country — do not estimate tax from a valuation alone.
