Cryptocurrencies are one of the most influential financial advancements of the 21st century. With the development of the first crypto – Bitcoin (BTC) and required blockchain technology, the world started to notice just how limited traditional financial systems were. Fiat currencies have always been heavily dependent on governments, local and global population adaptation of the resource, etc. However, digital currencies have broken the frames of the box that financial systems are rotting in.
With the adoption of blockchain technology, cryptocurrencies were given an ability to operate worldwide without significant hindrance from all of the outdated financial institutions. Banks had no control of the flow, the financial regulations didn’t exist, and governments couldn’t stick their noses into businesses of ordinary people who wanted to keep their finances to themselves.
It is worth mentioning that there is one downside, as the cryptocurrency market is quite volatile. Problems began to arise when traders, or people who wanted to trade digital currencies, much like fiat versions on the foreign exchange market (Forex, FX), required some kind of platform to keep up to date. The libertarian approach to economics has prevailed, and now we have websites and companies specifically designated to literally everything that is associated with cryptocurrencies. Let’s go through some of the most notorious websites on the worldwide web.
1. Coindesk.com
Coindesk.com is one of the most popular options out there for crypto enthusiasts. They offer a good amount of news articles every day, thus updating readers about every bit of information associated with cryptos. Apart from this, there is a whole separate category for learning materials conveniently named “101 Guides” that help people get into the market.
Coindesk has updated databases of the 24-hour price history of BTC, ETH, XRP, and others like Chainlink and Stellar. These charts are updated frequently and offer material for people who are interested in more technical sides of the market.
However, in addition to reading the material, there are many videos and even podcasts from numerous crypto experts. These are especially valuable for anyone who wants to continue their education in the field and become experts themselves.
2. Bitcoin.com
We believe it is quite obvious from the domain of this website that it was one of the first ones on the market. Bearing the name of the forerunner of all cryptocurrencies, it is one of the most well-established websites on the internet at this moment.
Besides the fact that it covers the latest news and offers information about standard cryptos like BTC, ETH, XRP, BCH, news.bitcoin.com includes some of the less known ones like DOT, LINK, ADA, BSV, etc. The website also contains a good number of educational materials for starters.
However, it is worth noting that bitcoin.com, in-itself, is a company offering services for interested individuals who are outside of just information. They have their own crypto wallet and exchange.
3. Cointelegraph.com
Cointelegraph is one of the most popular websites on the internet. This is your WSP or NYT of cryptocurrencies.

Basically, anything that would interest you can be found on their website. The layout is great, articles are frequently updated, and new information is always flowing.
4. Coinmarketcap.com
Following the pattern in the list, we have coinmarketcap.com as the next candidate. Like others, it offers a number of news in their “Headlines” category like crypto press releases, news, and updates about crypto projects. Apart from this, they have a special tab for events as well.
One of the biggest draws for this one is the list of different exchanges that are provided as well as tools that can be used. The website, overall, is quite educational and offers additional services such as live chat and interesting online tools like a currency converter. Watchlist allows users to pay closer attention to their favorite cryptocurrencies.
Additionally, there are historical snapshots and halving cooldowns that can be useful depending on the individual.

Conclusion
Overall, there are a fair amount of websites that offer similar services for people interested in cryptocurrencies. If you are a trader, it is recommended to follow as many of them as possible, as all of these websites are offering fresh news, but some information gets posted faster on different platforms, meaning that you may lose your competitive edge.
Other than that, we hope this list provides all of the necessary data services that will assist you in your endeavors.
