Primary market path
Coinbase supplies the primary BTC/USD ticker, trades, candles, and reference statistics used by the live production system.
Market data methodology
Live Bitcoin radio needs verified market data.
BTCR's primary market pair is BTC/USD. The station uses Coinbase as its primary live market path and Kraken as a secondary divergence check.
Secondary check
Kraken supplies an independent XBT/USD observation used to detect material divergence. A missing secondary source does not become a fabricated value.
Time and context
Published recaps and clips that include a price should identify the pair, source context, and as-of time. A completed candle is labeled as a completed candle rather than current spot.
Limits
Exchange prices can differ, markets can move between observation and playback, and network or provider interruptions can occur. BTCR's market coverage is entertainment and context, not execution data or financial advice.
Nothing on this station is financial advice.
