- #2. ✍️ Crunch Some Numbers With Our Currency Converter: We’ve added a currency converter to all of our cryptoasset pages. Now you can view what any amount of a particular cryptocurrency is worth in any other crypto or fiat currency.
Take an example from our Ethererum / ETH price page, which we’ve quoted in Tezos (XTZ). By clicking the first field (labeled ETH), you can change the value from 1 to anything you like. The second value (XTZ) adjusts accordingly. And it automatically adjusts as market prices change.
- #3. 📈 Nomics Adds Huobi Derivatives Markets + 18 More Crypto Exchanges: This week, we added Huobi derivatives markets plus 18 more crypto exchanges. BTSE, Bitpanda, Bitsonic, BitoPro, CBX, BitOffer, CAT.EX, and DOBI Digital Asset Exchange were added with “C” Transparency Ratings for providing recent candle data. XT, BtcTurk, BiHODL, Bitsten, dYdX, Atomars, Bvnex, Decoin, and Bitcoin.com were added with “D” ratings for offering low-granularity, non-historical ticker information.
Meanwhile, Incognito pDEX completed a “deep data integration” and is now an A+ Verified Exchange. This means that we’ve vetted Incognito’s trade history and verify that it meets the highest standards of reliability, consistency, and data integrity.
All data is available on Nomics.com and through our market data API. For more on our rating system, check out the following essay.
- #4. 👀 Another Nomics.com Ticker Sighting: Proof of Review is a service that shares analyses and ratings of cryptocurrencies, exchanges, and wallets. They feature our embeddable pricing widget on many of their asset and exchange pages. Here’s a screenshot from their review of crypto derivatives exchange FTX, which maintains FTX Token (FTT):
