CryptoWatch

CryptoWatch is a powerful real-time cryptocurrency market data, charting, and trading terminal that provides traders and analysts with live prices, technical charts, and aggregated exchange data in one interface. Originally launched in 2014, it was later acquired by the digital asset exchange Kraken in 2017 and has since become part of the broader Kraken ecosystem while still serving as a distinct market data and analytical platform.

CryptoWatch is designed for market monitoring and analysis rather than direct asset custody; users can connect exchange API keys to execute trades, review balances, and track portfolios across supported exchanges, but the platform itself does not hold user funds. It aggregates data across many exchanges and markets to give a holistic view of the crypto market, supporting spot and often derivatives data where available.

CryptoWatch provides live price feeds, order book depth, trade streams, and volume data for markets across dozens of exchanges, giving users a consolidated view of market activity without switching platforms. The terminal features highly customizable charts with multiple timeframes, various chart types, and built-in technical indicators such as Moving Averages, MACD, RSI, Bollinger Bands, and more — all powered by real-time exchange data. Traders can connect multiple exchange accounts via API to track balances and positions in a unified portfolio view. This makes it easier to monitor holdings across venues without logging in to each exchange separately.

CryptoWatch supports price alerts, watchlists, and customizable “boards” so users can build dashboards that reflect their markets of interest and receive notifications when targets are hit. While CryptoWatch itself is not a full exchange, it allows users to execute trades from within the terminal by linking exchange API keys. Orders are routed directly through those exchanges, meaning execution capabilities depend on the connected venue. CryptoWatch offers APIs and SDKs that enable developers to access market data programmatically — including tickers, candlesticks, order books, and trades — for integration into custom trading systems or analytics workflows.
