  • #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.
