Add a live cryptocurrency price widget to any WordPress site in minutes with the Gutenberg block or the classic shortcode.

Cryptocurrency Price Widget is designed for publishers, crypto blogs, fintech products, landing pages, and market-focused websites that want real-time price visibility without API keys, paid feed setup, or market calculations running on WordPress itself. Add the block, choose your coins and currencies, adjust the look, and publish. Shortcodes remain fully supported for existing pages, widgets, and classic-editor workflows.

Quick start

Install and activate the plugin.
Open a post or page in the block editor.
Add the Cryptocurrency Price Widget block.
Choose the currencies for the top row and the assets for the price list.

Shortcode users can still open Settings > CR Crypto Price, generate a shortcode, and paste it into any post, page, or shortcode-friendly area.

Gutenberg block and shortcode

Use the Cryptocurrency Price Widget block in the WordPress editor for the fastest setup. The shortcode remains available for classic editor content, widgets, templates, and existing installations.
