Do you want to keep an eye on how crypto prices are changing? Venmo's Crypto Price Alerts can help.
How do crypto price alerts work?
When you turn on crypto price alerts, we’ll send you push notifications when the price of your selected crypto goes up or down by your chosen percentage in a day.
Alerts are designed to keep you informed about movements in the crypto market, but should not be your sole way of monitoring and making decisions involving crypto. Crypto price alerts may be delayed or disrupted (including due to market conditions and data outages), and you should verify any information you receive from a price alert before you act on it. Price alerts are provided for informational purposes only, and do not constitute a recommendation by Venmo to buy, sell or hold any asset.
Push notifications for Venmo must be turned on in your phone settings in order to receive push notification price alerts.
You can learn more about how crypto price alerts work in our user agreement.
How do I set up price alerts?
You can sign up for and manage your price alerts in the Venmo app:
- Go to the Crypto tab
- Tap the relevant cryptocurrency
- Use the Price Alerts toggle to turn on price alerts
You will specify your selected percentage for price changes when you turn the feature on. This selection can be modified at any point.
If you’ve already verified your identity with Venmo and set up your Venmo account for buying/selling/holding crypto, you can also sign-up for price alerts when you are buying crypto.
How many alerts will I receive?
Crypto can be volatile and we don’t want to spam you, so the number of alerts you receive in a day may be capped or limited. You will receive a maximum of two notifications when the price of the crypto you selected changes in a single direction within a 24-hour period. For this reason and because crypto price alerts may be delayed or disrupted (including due to market conditions and data outages), alerts should not be your sole way of monitoring and making decisions involving crypto.
Do I need to verify my identity or hold crypto before I can use price alerts?
No, anyone with a Venmo account can use crypto price alerts.
