Discussion
edit- Comment According to its description, ticker symbol (P249) can already be used for cryptocurrency symbols. What makes this property different? Lewis Hulbert (talk) 05:17, 28 August 2018 (UTC)
- Comment ticker symbol (P249) can only be used as a qualifier within stock exchange (P414). the Stock exchange does not a apply to crytocurrencies. Stocks usually have different ticker symbols in different exchanges, but cryptocurrencies usually have the same. – The preceding unsigned comment was added by Germartin1 (talk • contribs) at 12:26, 28 August 2018 (UTC).
