How to follow Bitcoin, Ethereum and other cryptocurrency prices in your Notification Center

How to add Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Ripple (XRP) and other cryptocurrency prices to your Stocks app and Notification Center on iPhone and iPad.

Despite its recent woes, the cryptocurrency market isn't going to fade away; it will likely come under regulation and grow as adoption becomes widespread and scam coins are rooted out, though there probably won't be any more outrageous bubbles like that of December/January of 2017/2018. If you are a crypto investor or plan to put some money into the space, you will want to watch prices just as you would with any stock you own. The iOS Stocks app gets its data from Yahoo Finance, which lists cryptocurrencies, so you can add many of them to your watch list (most smaller currencies are not listed), then add the Stocks app to your Notification Center. Here's how to do it on iPhone:

If you aren't sure what cryptos are available or what your currency's symbol is, try opening a browser, heading to Yahoo Finance and searching for "Crypto."
