    Cryptocurrency MasterInstrument Currencies?

    BTCUSD has its MasterInstrument currency as USD, as expected.
    BTCGBP has its MasterInstrument currency as GBP, as expected.
    BTCEUR has its MasterInstrument currency as EUR, as expected.

    Many other cryptocurrency MasterInstruments do not have the same consistency.
    For example:
    BCHUSD and BCHEUR have USD and EUR respectively, as expected, but BCHGBP has USD, not GBP.
    ETCEUR, ETCGBP, ETHGBP and several other cryptocurrencies all have USD, which is not what one would expect.

    Looking at the relevant CoinBase URLs associated with these instruments as listed in the MasterInstruments, the instruments should have currencies that correspond to the Quote currency in the pair, where that Quote currency is fiat.

    It seems the Currency data for these Instruments in their MasterInstruments are wrong.

    Grateful for a review and correction of the supported Cryptocurrency Instruments, as needed.

    Thanks.

        The currency field for crypto currencies is disabled and inconsequential because we currently don't support trading crypto currencies. You can disregard the Currency setting for crypto currencies at this time.

          Thanks, Jason.

          I would recommend that even though trading cryptocurrency is not (yet) supported, the data related to a cryptocurrency Instrument should be accurate and correct, since the validity of the Instrument data is independent of whether the Instrument is traded or not. This applies to any and all Instruments, in fact. That being so, those MasterInstrument data should be corrected. It also would make those data ready for trading when it is supported (which, hopefully, will be soon).

          Thanks.

            Even if the currency field for cryptocurrencies is disabled and unimportant because you do not currently accept cryptocurrency trading, it would be good to display the correct information so as not to mislead anyone. Many people invest in crypto, and your information can put them in an uncomfortable situation. It would be good to correct. It is very easy to correct this information because there is a large amount of information on the internet about the crypto industry. For example, I always browse octocrypto because it contains up-to-date content about crypto, and the information is true.
