Venmo Rolls Out Crypto Currency Price Alerts Feature
Niko Pajkovic — November 13, 2021 — Tech
PayPal-owned mobile payment service Venmo has announced the launch of a new feature that lets users set price alerts for the four cryptocurrencies used on the platform: Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, and Bitcoin Cash. What this means is that users can track price fluctuations in these currencies, allowing them to make better decisions regarding when to buy, hold, or sell.
More specifically, users will receive a notification anytime a currency rises or drops by 5% or 10%. In addition, the alerts can be toggled on and off as users see fit and customized to their specific needs. For example, customers can set up alerts by picking how often and at what increase or decrease percentages they would like to receive notifications.
