Last year, Yahoo Finance added over 100 cryptocurrency quote pages across all platforms globally, giving audiences the unique ability to track coins and stay informed on the digital currency craze.
Yahoo Finance is now allowing users to act on that information, and trade cryptocurrency directly through its platform. The new feature, launched this week on the iOS app, allows users to buy and sell a variety of cryptocurrencies by linking their account – via an integration with our partners at TradeIt – including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin and Dogecoin. Android, desktop and mobile web are coming soon.
“As the leading provider of financial data, insights, and editorial content, we are constantly looking for ways to better serve audiences on the Yahoo Finance platform,” said Joanna Lambert, General Manager of Finance & Tech at Oath. “We first launched our integration with Trade It one year ago, allowing people to trade on Yahoo Finance for the first time ever. We’re excited to expand this offering to cryptocurrencies, further connecting our passionate community of investors with relevant utilities on our trusted platform.”
Yahoo Finance, the #1 business and financial news platform, today launched a partnership with Crunchbase to feature private company information for the first time ever. Available on U.S. desktop and mobile web, Yahoo Finance will now feature a subset of Crunchbase’s market-leading data, providing its audience with extensive insights into privately held organizations. The new product integration will allow Yahoo Finance users to easily access the essentials of a company, including investments and funding, leadership, M&A, industry trends, news and more.
A rich and comprehensive snapshot of Crunchbase data can be viewed on individual company pages – similar to Yahoo Finance’s public company ticker pages – searchable through the navigation bar. Users will also be able to easily click out from Yahoo Finance to the Crunchbase platform for additional information.
“Yahoo Finance is alway looking for new and meaningful ways to expand our offerings,” said Charles Hartel, Head of Product at Yahoo Finance. “This is our first foray into the private company sector, and we’re excited to partner with Crunchbase, to bring their market-leading information to our millions of users every day.”
This is just the latest product enhancement for Yahoo Finance, which already provides unrivaled access to financial data, insights and premium editorial content. Other recent launches include the exclusive availability of Environment, Social and Governance (ESG) scores for publicly traded companies, mutual funds, and ETF’s, as well as integrated cryptocurrency features across all platforms, and the ability to facilitate trades directly via Yahoo Finance, both in-app and desktop.

Earlier this year we launched Tanda for Yahoo Finance, an app allowing small groups of people to save money together for short-term goals. It’s not an entirely new concept. In fact, it’s quite popular in countries like Mexico and the Philippines. With Tanda, we wanted to introduce the idea to mobile US consumers for the the first time. It was one of our first forays into designing products for the financially underserved, as we saw an opportunity to use the support and influence of peers to help people save rather than spend.
While we garnered valuable insights around how consumers can benefit from financial planning tools and the opportunity for Yahoo Finance to offer a diversified suite of financial products, we’ve made the decision to begin sunsetting Tanda this week.
Every trial run helps brands better optimize, and create a better experience for users. We’ve learned a lot from launching and running Tanda, and then scaling it back. Key learnings around audience segments, engagement rates, consumer preferences, and UX will inform the projects we are creating, and how we improve the ones that are already in the market to fuel future innovation.
Our team is laser-focused on providing the best tools to help our customers reach their financial goals. Scaling back Tanda reaffirms our deep commitment to constant iteration in order to deliver innovative solutions and achieving this mission.
