How crypto prices in KES work

Prices come from live market data
The prices above take each asset’s live US dollar price and apply the current USD to KES rate, so you see the value in shillings.
- 2
Stablecoins track the dollar
USDT and USDC are designed to hold one US dollar, so their KES value follows the USD to KES rate. Bitcoin, Ethereum and others move with the market.
