How to change the currency CoinNotch displays
CoinNotch shows prices in US dollars by default, but you can quote them in euros, pounds, yen, or any major fiat. Open the settings, choose your currency, and every coin in your menu bar converts using live exchange rates. The change is instant and applies to all your pinned coins at once.
By default CoinNotch quotes everything in US dollars, the standard reference currency for crypto. But if you think in euros, pounds, yen, or another currency, seeing a dollar figure means doing math in your head all day. CoinNotch lets you switch the quote currency so the menu bar speaks your language. Here is how.
Changing the currency
Open CoinNotch's settings from the menu-bar icon, find the currency or quote option, and pick the fiat you want. The change applies immediately to every pinned coin, so your whole watchlist re-quotes at once rather than per coin. Prices convert using live foreign-exchange rates, so a coin priced in dollars on the market shows its accurate equivalent in your chosen currency, updating as both the crypto price and the exchange rate move.
- Open settings from the CoinNotch menu-bar icon.
- Find the currency option, usually labeled currency or quote currency.
- Pick your fiat, such as EUR, GBP, JPY, CAD, AUD, and so on.
- Done. Every pinned coin re-quotes instantly using live FX rates.

The conversion is a display choice, not a change to the underlying market. Crypto trades against the dollar and other pairs globally, and CoinNotch is simply presenting the value in the currency you find readable. Because it uses live exchange rates, a price can move slightly even when the dollar price is flat, reflecting currency movement, which is normal and accurate.
