Russian Search Engine Yandex Adds Cryptocurrencies to Its Converter
The largest Russian search engine, Yandex, has updated its currency converter with the addition of cryptocurrencies. The latest widget shows the rates of coins in several fiat currencies, with plans to introduce crypto-to-crypto pairs in the future too.
Yandex Users Can Find 140 Most Popular Crypto Information
Users
of Russia’s leading search engine, Yandex, can find information on the 140 most
popular cryptocurrencies, besides the national currencies of various countries.
The company has announced the latest version of its currency converter with the
addition of cryptocurrencies.
The
widget featuring a price chart and a quick conversion tool is located right
above the search results, the Russian Rb.ru news agency has reported, quoting
Yandex. The software recognizes standard keywords and even slang or imprecise
language in the query.
The
value of the coins and tokens of interest can be displayed in Russian rubles,
US dollars, euros, and other fiat currencies. More pairs will be added in the
future, with the option to check the price of a given digital asset in another
cryptocurrency.
Popular Cryptocurrencies Searched on Yandex
The
report mentions that the market data for Yandex is sourced from Coingecko, one of
the largest crypto aggregation portals. Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Dogecoin,
and Solana are the most popular cryptocurrencies by the number of search
queries in 2022, according to Russian search engine data.
Global
online platforms support similar functions, but access to some of them has been
largely restricted for Russians. RBC Crypto reports that although a feature
allowing the tracking of cryptocurrency prices was launched by Twitter in
December 2022, the social media platform is blocked in Russia.
Do
you think Yandex will introduce more crypto-related features in the future?
