On Wednesday, the company said that on top of its bitcoin tracking tool, MarketWatch will display information for ether, XRP, bitcoin cash, litecoin, ether classic, monero, dash and zcash. The website has been tracking the price of bitcoin since 2014.
The new service will post real-time quotes for both the U.S. dollar and the euro – as well as historical price trends for the nine crypto-assets – using data from the cryptocurrency exchange Kraken.
"It's no doubt that our readers, as the world's savviest investors, have an eye on digital currency and we're happy to be expanding our real-time tracking of a total of 9 cryptocurrencies in both euros and USD, with Kraken's help," Dan Shar, general manager at MarketWatch, said in a statement.
The Dow Jones Media Group itself has moved to test blockchain in recent days, perhaps signaling a broader interest in the tech within the company past its offerings on MarketWatch.
Dow Jones said last week that it is working with the privacy-oriented Web browser startup Brave in order to trial its blockchain platform. The two firms will test delivering content using Brave's blockchain-based platform for digital advertising, and Dow Jones Media Group subsidiaries Barron's and MarketWatch will become "verified publishers," as previously reported.

Pudgy Penguins is building a multi-vertical consumer IP platform — combining phygital products, games, NFTs and PENGU to monetize culture at scale.
What to know:
Pudgy Penguins is emerging as one of the strongest NFT-native brands of this cycle, shifting from speculative “digital luxury goods” into a multi-vertical consumer IP platform. Its strategy is to acquire users through mainstream channels first; toys, retail partnerships and viral media, then onboard them into Web3 through games, NFTs and the PENGU token.
The ecosystem now spans phygital products (> $13M retail sales and >1M units sold), games and experiences (Pudgy Party surpassed 500k downloads in two weeks), and a widely distributed token (airdropped to 6M+ wallets). While the market is currently pricing Pudgy at a premium relative to traditional IP peers, sustained success depends on execution across retail expansion, gaming adoption and deeper token utility.

XRP climbs to $1.90 but struggles to break out of tight range
Traders are watching $1.88 as support and $1.94–$2.00 as the levels XRP needs to clear to break consolidation.

- XRP rose about 0.4 percent to trade near $1.90, but remained locked in a narrow consolidation range.
- Support around $1.88 has repeatedly attracted buyers, while rallies continue to stall below the $1.92 to $1.94 resistance band.
