Where

Ex Rate = implied exchange rate in US dollars

We continuously update the implied exchange rate to ensure you have access to the most current information, rather than relying on outdated averages or previous closing prices.

Where do you get your data from ?

We utilize only publicly available data, ensuring it can be easily verified by anyone at any time. Our methodology involves calculating the weighted average price of Bitcoin in USD using data from global exchanges, while simultaneously retrieving data from multiple local Bitcoin exchanges to determine its value in local currencies. A comprehensive list of active exchanges is accessible via our API.
