Crypto and stocks used to be separate hobbies. For most investors today, they're not. You're buying the dip on ETH the same week you're adding to your S&P 500 position, and both decisions are drawing from the same pool of money and the same appetite for risk.
Yet almost everyone still tracks them separately: one app for the brokerage, one (or three) apps for crypto, and a mental note that you'll "check the total later." Later rarely comes, and when it does, the number is a guess.
Why Tracking Crypto and Stocks Separately Doesn't Work
It's not just inconvenient — it actively hides information you need to invest well.
You Don't Know Your Real Asset Allocation
Say you think you're running a balanced 70/30 stocks-to-crypto split. But crypto ran up 40% this quarter while your stocks were flat. Without combining both in one view, you don't notice that you're now sitting at 55/45 — a much riskier portfolio than the one you designed.
You Can't See Your True Risk Exposure
Crypto and growth tech stocks are more correlated than people assume — both get hit hard in the same "risk-off" moves. If you own a lot of both, your portfolio may be far less diversified than it looks when you check each account separately.
Rebalancing Becomes Guesswork
Rebalancing requires knowing, in one glance, what percentage each asset class represents of the whole. Flipping between a brokerage app and a crypto exchange and doing the math by hand means most people simply... don't rebalance. They just let winners run and losers sit, which is how concentration risk quietly builds up.
You're Blind to Your Actual Returns
"Am I beating the market?" is a simple question with a complicated answer if your capital is split across ecosystems that don't talk to each other. You need a single combined return number, not two separate ones you eyeball and average in your head.
What to Look for in a Combined Crypto + Stock Tracker
Not every "portfolio tracker" actually handles both asset classes well. Before you commit to one, check that it can:
- Show one net worth number that includes stocks, crypto, and anything else you hold — not two separate totals you add manually
- Import from exchanges and brokers, so you're not manually re-entering every trade
- Pull live prices for both stocks and crypto, since crypto moves 24/7 and a stale price defeats the point
- Break down allocation by asset class, not just by ticker
- Track P&L per asset class, so you know whether crypto or stocks are actually driving your gains
How Watchfolio Tracks Crypto and Stocks Together
This is exactly the gap Watchfolio is built to close — one login, one dashboard, every asset class.
One Dashboard, Every Asset Class
Your stocks and ETFs, your crypto holdings, and — if you hold them — your bonds all feed into the same Overview page. One market value number. One P&L number. One allocation chart that actually reflects your whole portfolio, not just the slice you happened to check today.
Import From Any Exchange or Broker
On the crypto side, Watchfolio supports CSV import from WhiteBIT, Binance, Coinbase, and Kraken, so you don't have to manually type in every buy and sell. For stocks, import your IBKR Activity Statement directly and Watchfolio parses open positions, closed trades, and realized P&L automatically. Any other broker's CSV works too.
Live Prices, 24/7
Crypto markets never close. Watchfolio refreshes crypto prices continuously and pulls live stock quotes during market hours, so the net worth number on your Overview page is the number that's actually true right now — not the one from this morning.
See the Full Picture: Allocation, Risk, and Health Score
Once both are in one place, Watchfolio's allocation breakdown shows you the real stocks-vs-crypto (and bonds, if you hold them) split, your Portfolio Health score factors in concentration across every asset class, and Portfolio Health specifically flags it when your crypto exposure gets uncomfortably high — something you'd never catch by eyeballing two separate apps.
Stop adding up two apps in your head
Import your stocks and crypto once, and see your real net worth, allocation, and P&L in one place — updated in real time.

A Quick Example
Say you hold $15,000 in stocks on IBKR and $8,000 in crypto split between Binance and WhiteBIT. Checked separately, both accounts look "fine" — stocks are up 6% this year, crypto is up 22%. But combined, crypto has quietly grown from 30% to 38% of your total portfolio, and that 38% is concentrated in two coins.
That's the kind of shift you only catch when both asset classes live in the same dashboard, updating together, with one allocation chart telling you the truth instead of two separate apps each telling you half of it.
The Bottom Line
Crypto and stocks are both real parts of your net worth, and treating them as two unrelated hobbies — tracked in two unrelated apps — means making decisions with half the information. Combine them, and rebalancing, risk management, and "am I actually doing well?" all get a lot simpler to answer.
Watchfolio brings your stocks, crypto, and bonds into one real-time dashboard — so the next time someone asks what you're worth, you'll actually know.
