You might also want to have a look at these free Wordpress plugins that you can easily integrate a ticker with prices of various cryptocurrencies. You can also change the look of them via simple CSS code.

You need a source for the data

And then a segment of code to insert as a widget such as the following:






Note that this code has a javascript source from which it pulls the data. The symbol selection is then requesting specific data from the set provided; in this case NASDAQ:AAPL...
The rest of the code is just adjustments to the view properties of that data; height, width, timezone etc


Looking at the coinmarketcap source code, the source of their data is coming from their own website here: https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoin/#charts

They then transform this large chart into a mini chart using some kind of sparkline: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sparkline



This probably hasnt helped at all, but you need to read up on how to write a small source and inject code; pulling data from coinmarketcap (i do not recommend without written permission) and relaying it to your site.
