Crypto Ticker Tape Screensaver
The Crypto Ticker Tape screensaver scrolls a classic ticker of real live crypto prices and daily moves, drawn key-less and live from CoinGecko. It's free, runs in your browser, and ESC exits.
How the Crypto Ticker Tape screensaver works
The saver fetches real live prices and 24-hour changes for top coins by market cap, with no key required.
Each coin scrolls past with its symbol, real price and real percentage change, colour-coded up or down.
The tape loops continuously, refreshing its underlying real prices on a schedule.
Choose how many coins appear in the rotation.
A worked example
Watch the tape and real green and red entries scroll by continuously — a genuine live snapshot of the crypto market's daily movers, not a static list.
Settings & tips
