I'd love to be able to track my crypto assets through Quicken for Mac. I use Robinhood which is supported by Quicken of Mac, but not for Crypto assets. Being able to track these would be a great addition, please add this in the near future!

    We should be able to track Bitcoin holdings in Quicken, even if it's just a manual entry. But Quicken should have access to the price. All other Crypto is not important.

    @jamesgbarnes13 Good thing we have you to tell us what's important. NOT! I personally believe having a choice is good.

    I'd say, Choose a reliable exchange (Coinbase, Gemini) or market averages available at Coinmarketcap.com and others to list and track top 20 or more.

    It's not like the information isn't available for free, it's just a matter of who is guiding the development of Quicken. Can I get a list of development team members? I'd wager that they are incentivized to lower the priority of automating this aspect in some way, given the ever growing crypto market. This is a company resting on it's laurels, not following the market.

    I think we should be able to allow Web3 wallets, read only like OKX wallet so it keeps tracking crypto balances

    Oh, I would take that wager! 🤣 I feel very confident that Quicken Mac development team members are NOT incentivized to not implement crypto tracking!

    How they prioritize which features to implement in the short-term and long-term is always a mystery, but I don't believe it is ever because they want to ignore or inconvenience customers. There are hundreds of feature requests, both large and small, and the Quicken Mac development team is quite small, so many users' top feature requests remain on the planning roadmap.

    I guess we will not know. We have no list and so cannot make a determination. I first requested these capabilities in 2014 and I'm likely not the first. If they wait a few weeks they can run the code through the AI box and have it working in minutes. lol

    Neat how the Quicken Windows Subscriber comments on this since Crypto is trackable in the Windows version. We're asking for the same things that are already available to your lot. @jamesgbarnes13 comments are fair, you don't need to sit in your basement and be a troll.

    1. No, it is not working in Windows, either.
    2. @jamesgbarnes13 is spot on , except "All other Crypto is not important."
    3. MANY cryptos, other than BTC, are CRITICAL for a fully functioning blockchain.
    4. @Porcupine70 is spot on that "having a choice is good."

    crypto support on Mac is just one of several areas where there are functional differences between Mac and Windows. Almost like 2 separate products. WTF, Quicken?!?!?!

    @MarcC Well, they are two separate products! More like close cousins than identical twins. They have different development histories, use different underlying database software, have their own design and code, have sometimes identical and sometimes different ways of doing things, and have moderately different features.

    The Quicken Mac development team is small, and the user-requested list of features is large. So in any given year, the developers knock some things off the wishlist, but leave many more waiting for time and resources to tackle them.
