the news publishing unit of Dow Jones Media Group; MarketWatch (MW), announced on Wednesday that it will begin tracking the market moves of eight additional cryptocurrencies.
On Wednesday, the company said that on top of its bitcoin
tracking tool, MarketWatch will start displaying information for Ether (ETH), Ripple
(XRP), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Litecoin (LTC), Ether Classic (ETC), Monero (XMR),
Dash and Zcash (ZEC. The website has been tracking the price of BTC since 2014.
The new service will post real-time quotes for both the U.S.
dollar and the euro - as well as historical price trends for the nine
crypto-assets - using data from the cryptocurrency exchange Kraken.
"It's no doubt that our readers, as the world's savviest
investors, have an eye on digital currency and we're happy to be expanding our
real-time tracking to a total of 9 cryptocurrencies in both Euro's and USD,
with Kraken's help," Dan Shar, general manager at MarketWatch, said in a
statement.
The Dow Jones Media Group itself has moved to test blockchain in
recent days, perhaps signaling a broader interest in the tech within the
company past its offerings on MarketWatch.
Dow Jones said last week that
it is working with the privacy-oriented Web browser startup Brave in order to
trial its blockchain platform. The two firms will test delivering content
using Brave's blockchain-based platform for digital advertising, and Dow Jones
Media Group subsidiaries Barron's and MarketWatch will become "verified
publishers," as previously reported.
