Cryptowatch is a Kraken-owned premium subscription service that provides real-time cryptocurrency market data, charting, and trading services for 25+ cryptocurrency exchanges.
The real-time data on Cryptowatch is provided directly from cryptocurrency exchanges via their APIs and covers over 3,000 markets. The term "market" refers to a trading pair listed on an exchange. For example, the trading pair BTC/USD on Kraken is a market, and BTC/USD on another exchange would be considered a separate market.
