  Stock quote websites handle real-time updates for cryptocurrency prices by using APIs provided by cryptocurrency exchanges. These APIs allow the websites to fetch the latest price data directly from the exchanges and display it on their platforms. The websites typically use WebSocket technology to establish a real-time connection with the exchanges, enabling them to receive instant updates whenever there is a price change. This ensures that the displayed prices are always up-to-date and accurate.

  Stock quote websites rely on data feeds from cryptocurrency exchanges to handle real-time updates for cryptocurrency prices. These data feeds provide the websites with the latest price information, which is then processed and displayed on their platforms. The websites often use caching mechanisms to store the fetched data temporarily, reducing the load on the exchanges' servers and improving the overall performance of the websites. Additionally, some websites may implement rate limiting or request throttling to ensure a fair usage of the exchanges' APIs and prevent abuse.
