Lets launch a crypto symbol standard, rather than having to work to the existing international currency standards (fuck'em).
Done. See the repos maintained by github org
DOACC.
To set the context: this is the core of the existing international currency standard 4217:
ISO 4217ISO 4217:2008 specifies the structure for a three-letter alphabetic code and an equivalent three-digit numeric code for the representation of currencies and funds. For those currencies having minor units, it also shows the decimal relationship between such units and the currency itself.

DOACCThe cryptocurrency domain has DOACC (Description of a Cryptocurrency), an exhaustive collection of metadata about cryptocurrency (incl trading symbol) supported by a couple of accompanying ontologies (
DOACC and
CCY) that precisely define the metadata terms (e.g. “symbol”) using a computationally-tractable representation (OWL). The project maintains an RDF graph representation of the metadata for over 2000 altcoins.
The metadata description and the collection are under an open source licence and use a purl.org URL (group-owned eventually, if'n'when purl.org admins allow).
Minkiz presents the DOACC graph as a Linked Open Data that is both browsable:
https://minkiz.co/page/Repository/Da0770ce7-0c77-4295-b225-a54a277a7828and queryable as a SPARQL endpoint.
Try pasting the query below into the text box on
https://minkiz.co/sparql, it'll return the DOACC URI, name and symbol for the first 25 coins, ordered by symbol:
PREFIX skos:
PREFIX doacc:
SELECT ?node ?label ?symbol WHERE
{ ?node skos:prefLabel ?label .
?node doacc:symbol ?symbol .
}
ORDER BY ?symbol
LIMIT 25
