Supported Cryptocurrencies

Finanzapp tracks major cryptocurrencies and altcoins:

Top Cryptocurrencies

  • Bitcoin (BTC) - The original cryptocurrency
  • Ethereum (ETH) - Smart contract platform
  • Binance Coin (BNB) - Exchange token
  • Cardano (ADA) - Proof-of-stake blockchain
  • Solana (SOL) - High-performance blockchain
Major cryptocurrencies have the most liquidity and reliable price data.

Real-Time Price Updates

Cryptocurrency prices are updated continuously using market data APIs:
// Real-time price update system
const updateCryptoPrices = async () => {
  try {
    const response = await fetch('/api/crypto/prices');
    const prices = await response.json();
    
    // Update dashboard values
    prices.forEach(crypto => {
      updateCryptoCard(crypto.symbol, crypto.price, crypto.change24h);
    });
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Failed to update crypto prices:', error);
  }
};

// Update every 30 seconds
setInterval(updateCryptoPrices, 30000);
Price data is cached for 30 seconds to balance real-time updates with API rate limits.

Conversion Calculator

The integrated conversion calculator lets you instantly convert between any cryptocurrency and fiat currency:
Convert cryptocurrency amounts to EUR, USD, GBP, and other fiat currencies:Example:
  • 0.5 BTC = €15,000 (at current market rate)
  • Updates automatically as prices change
Exchange rate calculations between different cryptocurrencies:Example:
  • 1 BTC = 15.5 ETH (at current rates)
  • Useful for tracking cross-currency values
See what your crypto was worth at any point in time:
  • Select a past date
  • View historical exchange rates
  • Calculate past portfolio values

Portfolio Analytics

Visual Performance Tracking

Monitor your cryptocurrency portfolio with the same powerful analytics used throughout Finanzapp:
// Crypto portfolio chart using Chart.js
const cryptoChart = new Chart(ctx, {
  type: 'line',
  data: {
    labels: ['Jan', 'Feb', 'Mar', 'Apr', 'May', 'Jun'],
    datasets: [{
      label: 'Portfolio Value (EUR)',
      data: [5000, 7500, 6800, 9200, 11000, 12540],
      borderColor: '#00cc99',
      backgroundColor: 'rgba(0, 204, 153, 0.1)',
      tension: 0.4,
      fill: true
    }]
  },
  options: {
    responsive: true,
    plugins: {
      tooltip: {
        callbacks: {
          label: (context) => `€${context.parsed.y.toFixed(2)}`
        }
      }
    }
  }
});
Cryptocurrency charts use green colors to distinguish them from traditional investment charts (which use blue).

Security Considerations

Important: Finanzapp tracks the value of your cryptocurrency holdings but does not store private keys or wallet credentials. Your actual crypto remains in your own wallets and exchanges.

What Finanzapp Does:

  • ✅ Tracks portfolio value
  • ✅ Calculates performance metrics
  • ✅ Displays real-time prices
  • ✅ Generates reports

What Finanzapp Does NOT Do:

  • ❌ Store private keys
  • ❌ Access your wallets
  • ❌ Execute trades
  • ❌ Hold your cryptocurrency
Best Practice: Only enter the amount of crypto you own, not your wallet addresses or private keys. Finanzapp only needs to know what you own to track its value.

Volatility Alerts

Stay informed about significant price movements:
Set custom price alerts for any cryptocurrency:
  • Alert when BTC reaches €50,000
  • Notify if ETH drops below €2,000
  • Email or in-app notifications
Receive alerts during high volatility periods:
  • More than 10% price change in 24h
  • Unusual trading volume
  • Major market movements
Get notified when your total portfolio:
  • Reaches a target value
  • Drops below a certain amount
  • Gains or loses a specific percentage
