WARNING: ACTIVE COMMUNITY SANCTIONS The article List of cryptocurrencies, along with other pages relating to blockchain and cryptocurrencies, is designated by the community as a contentious topic. The current restrictions are: Limit of one revert in 24 hours: This article is under WP:1RR (one revert per editor per article per 24-hour period) Editors who repeatedly or seriously fail to adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, any expected standards of behaviour, or any normal editorial process may be sanctioned. Remedy instructions and exemptions Enforcement procedures: Violations of any restrictions (excluding 1RR/reverting violations) and other conduct issues should be reported to the arbitration enforcement noticeboard or the administrators' incidents noticeboard. Violations of revert restrictions should be reported to the administrators' edit warring noticeboard. Editors who violate any listed restrictions may be blocked by any uninvolved administrator, even on a first offense. An editor must be aware before they can be sanctioned. With respect to any reverting restrictions: Edits made solely to enforce any clearly established consensus are exempt from all edit-warring restrictions. In order to be considered "clearly established" the consensus must be proven by prior talk-page discussion. Edits made which remove or otherwise change any material placed by clearly established consensus, without first obtaining consensus to do so, may be treated in the same manner as clear vandalism. Clear vandalism of any origin may be reverted without restriction. Reverts of edits made by anonymous (IP) editors that are not vandalism are exempt from the 1RR but are subject to the usual rules on edit warring.

Change the header label to "Currency Code/s".

'Currency Code' is the ISO standard term used in the Forex market used to describe these instruments - it is also widely used in Crypto.

It is the Crypto world that has adopted the poor practice of choosing terms that already have accepted definitions for "something" and using it to describe a completely different "something", and to make it worse there's usually already is a congruent definition for this other "something"! and it gets even worse, the terms they're ambiguously using are from the same industry sector. i.e. finance | securities |currencies.

Further the term 'symbol' is already ISO defined with respect to currency markets as: the character or characters used for a given currency, e.g. the dollar "$"; so, to refer to a 'currency code' as a 'symbol' is just ludicrous. This will only become more of an unnecessary problem when more crypto assets are normalised for different things because people will want a shorthand reference to them - ironically it will be a bit hard then to use the term 'symbol'!

This is simply a case of introducing a preventable risk - one that can be cured now.
