What does the “Total Return” number mean?
Venmo reflects your crypto balance position with real-time returns based on current market conditions. This is reflected as “Total Return” in the Crypto tab of your Venmo app.

Does the Venmo app track crypto prices in real time?
Yes. The price in the app will update every few seconds to reflect any change to the market value. By default, you will be shown the change in market value over a 24-hour period using a line graph. You can toggle to view one week, one month, six-months, one year, and the entire history of the selected cryptocurrency. When you tap on the timeline graph, you can view more specific values over time.
