Shapeshift Releases CoinCap.io, A Revamped Price Tracker

Trading cryptocurrencies are easy but identifying arbitrage opportunities is difficult due to numerous exchanges across the globe. Prices of cryptocurrencies vary across these exchanges making it difficult for the trader to decide where should he purchase and also if there is a possibility to arbitrage.

With multiple exchanges and the volatility that still exists in the crypto market, a trader needs to have access multiple databases to analyze and assess the market sentiment before one buys cryptocurrencies. Another aspect to investment is the ICO’s, a wealth multiplier for investors, which is a time-consuming task for investors as they have to research latest ventures in the market that has the most exciting future prospects.

With so much of complexity, an investor has to keep a tab on multiple cryptocurrency exchanges and apps to ensure the investment leads to maximum profit. To solve this hurdle of looking at different websites and apps, many have introduced what we call it digital currency price aggregators and trackers.

To explain in simple terms, a cryptocurrency price tracker keeps a tab on all necessary price related information that is available and provides it to the investor at one place so that he can view it at a glance. As the craze for cryptocurrency picked up, a lot of price aggregator and trackers emerged providing a variety of services to make the investor ‘trade ready’.

Some of them provided different types of historical data making it easy for the trader to match and compare the prices with cryptocurrencies track record, while some provided data to match performance between cryptocurrencies. But what was more important and mattered to the investor was the accuracy and promptness these price aggregators showed in capturing prices as it had a significant impact on the decision of the investor.

Hence investors started searching for a tracker that was updated constantly and regularly and was reliable in terms of accuracy of data. This timely assessment of demand and the variety of services that the investor asked for led to the emergence of more efficient price trackers that kept the investors updated with the latest moves of the market.
