Easy CryptoCurrency Ticker displays current cryptocurrency prices (bitcoin, Ethereum, litecoin and/or others) on your WordPress website. You may select multiple cryptocurrencies (over 1800 available) to show prices in various currencies (BTC, USD, EUR, GBP or others)
Prices are fetched from CryptoCompare.com using their API.
To improve performance and prevent your website from making too many requests to remote servers, we cache prices in the local WordPress database for two minutes.

Known issues
- Currencies are listed in alphabetic order, no matter how they are added to the From field.
- Some cryptocurrencies are not supported by API even though Coin List contains them, like CLOUT, EARTH, etc
- When a new cryptocurrency is added for the first time, the loading of the page can be a little bit slower for the very first time because the plugin has to download and store the local logo for that cryptocurrency.
